Great advice. I was surprised at how much an extra 30lbs really changed how much speed control I had. I've taken the same bike, and another bike with side pulls on equally steep trails and felt just fine. I imagine much of this sensation had to do as much with maneuvering the weight as it did

The principal virtues of V brakes is that they are so easy to set up, and that they don't require cable housing stops. Most decent brakes well set up will stop fine, but V brakes are easier to set up so that they do this. I don't think that V brakes as such are inherently more powerful than other
