I dont ride more than 30km these days with 70kg of meat on my rim brake bike and my forearms are made of steel (Jokes they are not)
(I do like hydro brakes fyi and always enjoy the experience)
Wait, no canti bikes in badlands....Im out.
Josh-
YOU can run cantis in Badlands. I won't be. :)
I think I'm down to a single canti in my life nowadays, the rear brake on the Focus. Just need to destroy or sell that and we're done. Oh, still have Vees on my hardtail in Oz. But there's no hills or cars for miles so you can ride all day without actually needing brakes there.
hippy
Even if it were true, you know what I like about discs? Being able to stop 130kg of meat and steel on steep descents with one-finger. No sore hands (except the shifter thumb) no arm pump, etc.
