I really like the versatility of the set-up. The discs were great for stopping. The bad points were the lack of options for wheels forks and hubs. They were wonderful in the dirt. <br /><br />Now, I have a dedicated road bike with caliper brakes and they work great with the bike. <br /><br />I also have a steel CX bike with discs and greater stopping power. <br /><br />I was tempted to go with disc tabs on my road bike, but I wasn't sure how the technology would be developing in terms of ISO standards, hub spacing etc... <br /><br />Now, as the technology starts to matriculate through road bikes, I am still unsure, but I can imagine how awesome road discs would be on those descents. <br /><br />When I did Wuling on discs before, I felt very confident with the braking. I did it with the new bike and it was also good, but the difference was that the new bike is fit better and balanced better. Combine the two and it might be an even better descender.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-65528625426955540412012-03-07T23:43:37.069-08:002012-03-07T23:43:37.069-08:00Are the disc brakes on your bike a personal prefer...Are the disc brakes on your bike a personal preference, or do you deem them better than v-brakes for this kind of climbs & descents?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-7011581777506876012012-03-07T23:42:15.914-08:002012-03-07T23:42:15.914-08:00Are the disc brakes on your bike a personal prefer...Are the disc brakes on your bike a personal preference, or do you deem them better than v-brakes for these kinds of climbs & descents?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
