I'm looking into getting v brakes for my muddyfox, but I am looking at the descriptions and they recommend a shimano power modulator part - SM-PM70. I've had bikes with v brakes before and never had them, is it a thing for new riders liable to go over the bars?
They're cheap enough so I don't mind buying them if I'll notice a difference or like them but I'm unsure if they're unnecessary. The bike will be a commuter/tourer when it's done if that makes a difference.
