Current Projects chat and miscellany

Hello veLLo (sorry couldn't resist!), like the idea, especially as I want a CX bike and have no funds neither.
Also interestingly, some CX bikes are using slacker geometry closer to MTBs anyway.
Also, dunno if it'll help, but have you tried good old V brakes?

Hehe! We should make a poor's man XC bike club!

I don't have V brakes to hand to check, but I doubt it would work as the distance is massive (and looks at least 1.5 longer than what you show on the photo)... Will measure and keep in mind for next time I see V-brakes, or will report here for someone to tell me if it would reach... Thanks for your contribution!
