[RBW] Disc brakes

2018-11-15 Thread Ryan M.
Theoretically, with enough money you could do it but the bike is not designed 
for them.  If you really want a disc bike there are a bunch of them that will 
ride great. 

I’m of the opinion that disc brakes are superior in every way, and I freakin 
hate screwing around with cantis but I will do it if I have toI would never 
modify a current canti bike to take discs though.

[RBW] Disc brakes

2018-11-15 Thread 'Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch
You’d need mounts and a beefier fork. Why do you ask? Unless you ride in 
insanely stupid conditions (below freezing but the roads are wet because the 
sun shines in places so everything freezed when it gets on your bike, including 
rim brakes, or in deep snow so the snow clogs up the rims), cantilevers are 
brilliant. Ask me how I know. Grin. And in those conditions, disk brakes have 
been known to freeze up too, and are harder to clear. Only reliable solutions I 
found were drum brakes (which have other problems) or fixed gear back pedal 
braking, which I’ve switched to and absolutely love for my insanely stupid 
conditions. Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

Not without having mounts welded to it.
