Look at BQ as a "magazine" in support of their preferences for bikes.
So of course they are going to sell what suits their preferences, just like
Riv and every other manufacturer, seller etc. does. It's natural to do
this. So of course what's written is going be about why they prefer what
they do, here is our preference in action (evidence) in words and pictures
to support our identity.
Alright, great. These are just one way though, one set of preferences.
Yea, nay ... so what ? what say I ? Intelligence is universal, it belongs
to one, any more than air. What I prefer is as important what you think and
anyone can prefer.
I'm not saying anything you don't already know , I couldn't.
Me, I like "old school" canti's, the ones with the smooth post. Some may
consider these hard to adjust, I consider them the easiest . I've always
found them simple since I first used them back in the early 80's. Canti
posts are not always in the exact same position on all bikes though. Think
about it, every bike has different fork blade and seat stay widths. I love
Suntour XC Pro canti's on one bike that has narrower mount widths and it's
the best setup I've ever encountered myself. The same brakes on the
Bombadil with a much wider mount width these brakes are just geometrically
"poor", the best way I can describe it. The can't be set up in the same
optimal position as my other bike due to the low profile shape of the arms.
No biggie, I use another brake , and mid-wide profile Shimano from the
early 80's. Purrfect .
So no matter the bike there is a great brake for it. If one doesn't seem
"right" it doesn't limit you as there are many others. I prefer the ones
from 80's 90's myself and have spent at most $20 on them :) One man's
trash is another's treasure :)
