Already I have my upgrade head on (see previous thread).
Has anyone fitted V-brakes to their touring bike? What sort of results did
you get? I find cantilevers a pain in the a**e to set up, and I reckon I
deserve a decent set of brakes now I'm only to have one bike.
The Dia-compe 287 lever is interesting, never seen a bike with one fitted
- does anyone have a set? For that matter, does anyone have a set they
want to part with?
Also, what would you recommend for brakes? My only consideration is that I
don't want the bike to look too flashy. Is there a reason why mountain
bikes use them but tourers don't?
Thanks for your help.
