  • Got an Omnium Classic inbound. What's the word on using mech disc for the front? Too much friction with all the cable bends or par with a rear brake?

  • Assuming you're using flat handlebars, you can pick up basic hydro brakes for probably cheaper than cable ones these days so why would you?
    I've used a lot of cable disc brakes in the past though not on cargos, and initially they're great but I find their performance fades without a load of fiddling and I wouldn't put them on a cargo personally

  • Fair point. I've got some cheap mech discs in the parts bin with the intent to use them, but I guess they are pretty cost effective nowadays, and bleeding isn't as intimidating as I once recalled it being after a couple instructional vids.

    Anyone care to chime in on rough length for their front hose on a Mini-Max? Want to sort out if most stock length 850-1000cm for a front brake will do, even if it might be blaringly obvious that it probably won't.
