I love my dual v-brakes, but they require mega-true wheels to work how I want them to, which in turn requires wheelcovers. And normal cables are vulnerable in crashes.
I'm thinking of front hyrdaulic disc only, hose routed through the top cap, no wheelcovers. I reckon it would be bike-weight neutral, reduce wheel weight by losing the wheelcovers, and allow one-finger braking which I hope would improve stability/control.
