[RBW] Hunq-ish Romanceur build with Riv Bullmoose bars

2017-01-16 Thread Philip Kim
If you got the money no reason not go Paul's, but TRPs are lighter and have dual action calipers which can be adjusted separately. Provides more even wear, and you're not essentially bending the rotor to one arm to stop. It can also be easily adjusted by the cable barrel adjuster as pads wear.

This will be my first time using disc brakes. Have you used the TRPs before? I have been leaning toward Klampers, as they'very got reviews for solid stopping power and the materials seem better for longevity. What's the fundamental difference between centerlock and 6 bolt? -- You received
