Lolo-
more of a forks choice than a brake one
He chose to spend $400 on Jan Heine's centrepull brakes instead of plain old cantis/V-brakes which probably work better. He's paid extra money to give himself less choice and make his frame and forks irreplaceable
Plus he made it 650b then said there is only 1 rim for sale in the world that fulfills his requirements
And then he decided to ride this bike, alone, through the mountains in Morocco in the midst of a global pandemic. 👌

Plenty of alternative/better ways to make a nice steel disc fork if you’re not hung up on the tapered blade aesthetic (which makes little to no sense for disc brake applications)

Find it odd that he thinks rim brakes are better than disc brakes for offroad though
