Re: [RBW] Centerpull vs V-Brakes in terms of maintenance and use

I have to admit, my only centerpull experience is with bolt on Dia Compes and Weimnmans, none of the fancy brakes. Then again, blue collar V brakes work great. Eric On Thu, Apr 25, 2024 at 7:55 PM Josiah Anderson wrote: > I agree both with Bill's "it depends" and Eric

Re: [RBW] Centerpull vs V-Brakes in terms of maintenance and use

Bill says “it depends,” but I can only offer my experience, which is that both are adequate in the dry, but centerpulls are spooky weak when the rims are wet. Centerpulls do look nicer, but in every performance category, V brakes are a clear and easy win for me. Eric V brake fan On Thursday
