im no scientist, and ive never used disc brakes, but the argument that the stopping force near the hub is too extreme doesnt really work in my head, as long as modulation is in play. i would understand it, if he is talking about locking up the wheel on a regular basis, but assuming that's not the case and you are just trying to slow down normally, is there any real risk to the frame?
anyway, i like rim brakes. i like the way they look. i know how to put them together and take them apart. ill probably never need or want a disc brake bike. i don't ride in the rain or mud very much here in CA, but when i do, stopping can get scary. i can see someone wanting a better option for that type of riding...which isnt really fringe riding for a lot of the world. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
