  • I am looking to swap my SS for a geared commuter steel-framed bike. My current options are either new Jamis Coda Elite (carbon fork, hydraulic discs and 520 frame, flat bar) or used Ridgeback Voyage (520 frame, Cr-Mo fork, cantilevers and drop bar). Which do you think will be better for year-round riding? I already have Pickenflick for more sporty rides, this one is mostly for commuting, sometimes longer way than just shortest A to B route.
    I like drop bars and cantis might make it less attractive for potential thief, but I have heard many bad opinions about their effectiveness. Mini-V might be out of question with mudguards.

  • Cantis are generally pretty shit in the wet (and the rest of the time) discs for year round riding definitely.

  • Cantis are generally pretty shit in the wet.

    TBF, rims brake isn't gonna be good in the wet regardless, cantis is no exception.
