You'd have more fun on this.

silly idea.

Care to elaborate?

I use TRP Sypres / Novatec / Stans Iron Cross at the moment on my cross bike. When you say the weak point do you mean the thing most likely to fail?

Forks are at the end of my for sale thread.

Actually there's an MTB version of the Spyre that might be worth a punt if you like cable pull brakes but not static pad designs.

In essence yeah. Since the wheel goes through more jarring ride, what is most likely to fail in a larger wheel i.e 700c.

Reading some reviews on the Spyre shows some good stuff. Disks have come a long way since 2001.
My main issue at the moment is I'd basically be polishing a turd, which doesn't justify spending anything on it but basic stuff. If it doesn't work out with dirt, I'll just switch it over to a polo bike.

I'll pm you about the forks.
