[RBW] Re: Just your average Clem Smith.... not!

[Tony DeFilippo]

I saw a ton of these hydro linear pull brakes in Germany last year on a visit 
and some to a bike shop about them.  Definitely commonplace and there didn't 
seem to be any concerns about failure at least in a touring it commuting setup. 
 The same shop was also fairly dismissive about the need for disc brakes on a 
city or touring bike when I asked.  In their mind the discs are specialist 
equipment for muddy/wet conditions off road.

My personal experience with hydro disc brakes on my Jones has been flawless and 
I chose hydros again for my new unicrown Jones the bleed procedure does require 
extra equipment though it's not as complex as you might think.

It's not so much the line breaking mid-hill. It is the lack of being able to 
repair a misshap while on tour. A line could get cut or broken for a number of 
different reasons and likeky never when actually being ridden. A new line and 
the right oil woukd be hard to find most places and bleeding the system 
requires a fair amount of specialist equipment.

We sail down mountains with tiny slivers of metal clamped by a little bolt for 
brakes. I don't think a hydraulic line busting is high on the list of braking 
worries.

Koga touring bikes can, I believe, be spec'ed with Magura brakes...

A bike tourist who came through town was riding his, heading for the west 
coast (by Amtrak from Galesburg as his visa time limit was approaching), 
then biking to Central and possibly South America.  I still follow him on 
his blog...

...which I find pretty amazing. 

I have to admit I was a bit worried about him for his trip, and not 
necessarily for the brakes(!), but he has done amazingly well.

When I was cycle touring in Colombia, I met a Belgian couple with Magura 
hydraulic V brakes on their bikes. I questioned the husband about the logic of 
hydraulics on V brakes and he claimed they were superb. Easy to modulate, very 
sure and required little to know hand strength to brake violently when needed. 
I asked him if he wasn't concerned about somehow cutting or braking a hydraulic 
line and he felt the risk was really low. He'd been using them for years and 
also had hydraulic discs on their mountain bikes.

Wouldn't be my choice, but apprently Magura brakes are expensive and excellent.

What is an "anti break"?? Now if you were trying to write 
/cantilever brakes/ and lost a few letters along the way, that might 
make sense.





Perhaps helps with finder issues (arthritis, injury..)

Yeah, no kidding. And here I thought I was being lavish with a custom 
framebag and a dynamo system. I haven't seen too many rohloff'd Rivs, and 
looking at the mounting system required, I can see why.
