Partly :) but mainly because the calipers just arent efficient enough. Ultimately I will buy a new frame but I havent seen anything I like yet. Its likey to be 14 co custom or something like that but that means saving the dollar first. This way I can mod the frame into something more suitable for now. I like the frame, a couple of geo issues but I dont want to get a substitute that I wont be happy with only to get the custom bike later on down the line.
Plus I have wrist pain from the lever, I have finessed the brakes as much as poss but its just not working anymore. All your bikes with V brakes are crazy efficient and I want the stopping power! Pulling those calipers hurts. Also its about the same price as two sets of those bolt on ones anyway, and will work better.
