I can't understand this brake thing-I only have v brakes but can lock up both tyres with ease-how can I use more brake power?I must admit the final long descent on "The Wall" at Afan had my wrists feeling like a piece of wire had been tightened around them-strange feeling-but soon recovered and never had this since.Back to original subject;If your mates claim the type of riding they do is SO extreme that only longish travel full suss can cope I'd be wary if you are not already experienced in this style.
