boredom in reply to @WimVDD

Have you used those magura hydraulic rim brakes before? Are they much better than v brakes and worth the extra faff?

ectoplasmosis in reply to @boredom

I have a set on my current commuter and they’re great; loads more powerful and tactile compared to Vs in the dry, not terrible in the wet (I have rims with ‘CSS’ tungsten brake tracks and corresponding Kool Stop CSS pads).

They do need setting up well though. Worth it on the whole for me.
