Current Projects chat and miscellany

Yes. Had disc brakes before but cable operated BB7s don't work with road shifters very well, despite the marketing blurb. I set up the bike with some EuroX cantis but they were fiddly beyond belief so picked up a pair of the ultimates after hearing nothing but praise for them. They are very good, ideal for cyclocross and very easy to get set up.

I went from canti's to V-brakes and was amazed at the increase in stopping power, then from V-brakes to a shimano hydro disc, and was a bit "meh", as overall power was around the same, but modulation was well behind.

Unless it was wet, when the disc was unquestionable in it's superiority.
