Re: Raleigh RSP 853 FRS - changed my mind, AGAIN!
I like Direct Curve V's. I have them on my Roberts and a spare pair waiting in the wings for when I get the Fuquay on its wheels. They are nice powerful brakes and modulate really well. I will have Avid BB5's on the Lloyd, I've never had discs on a mtb before, so that will be an interesting experience.
I really like what you are doing with the RSP and I'm looking forward to hearing how it rides.

Re: Raleigh RSP 853 FRS - changed my mind, AGAIN!
Yes, I like the V's too but I've been on the lookout for a/some II's because the slightly 'chunkier' design suits the RSP more...
...and I've put the BB7's on my Explosif, 180mm front/160mm rear, with some ridiculously light gold ano CNC'd levers SWMBO bought for my birthday

Perhaps not as well liked cos of the brand but 1 or 2 of the tektro mechanical disc brakes work really well.

Blimey!
Just got the digital scales out...
...33lbs! :shock:
First 28lbs+ bike I've had since my Saracen DH monster back around the turn of the Century!
