I applaud the threadjackers here. For my part, the only brakes that have NOT given me grief in the last... 12.5 years... are the V-brakes on my Bontrager. Disc, single-pivot and dual-pivot sidepulls, cantis both high and low -profile have all laid me out. the v-brakes are the only ones that just work year in and year out. I did also have a center-pull bike that could do nose-stands with 30 year old pads, but I gave it away after a month.
