V-Brake Mounts

[Mr Panda]

The only advantage of disc brakes I can accept is that your rims wont wear out - I've had some really expensive "sand-grinding-aluminium" noises on puddled gravel tracks over the last few months. :evil:

I have one disc braked bike and don't want any more :roll: Might even sell it
However I have "several" (ahem) V anti canti bikes and can't stop buying the sodding things, bloomin' Retrobike :roll:

But does v-brakes never fail (e.g. in extreme situations with a lot of water)?
Can it be used in a more serious XC setup?
Why you don't want disk? Any particular reason like weight?

There are no V-brakes on any of my bikes.

I went back to cantis and stayed there. Oh and a couple of U-brakes have snuck in under the fence (they work just as well as V's on the back).

Hydraulic disk brakes for bicycles have been around for over 30 years so I dont mind them on my Airborne.
