Fishing for a little advice,
I've recently changed my riding terrain from Texas to Utah, and wow there really are mountains up here. Ofcourse the first thing I had to do was hit the downhills. I managed to get through the ride a few times, however I could have used a little more stopping power in some cases.
I know this topic is played on all the time. I'm looking for something that will bolt up to Mavic Crossride. I'm thinking mechanical to start with. couple questions though.
1. Is there a quality mechanical brand out there that won't require an organ or limb, or first born for a down payment?
2. what type of maintanence is required for up keep, will i need a degree to disasemble and clean?
I've read some of the disc brake topics here and seen alot of rave about the avid mechanicals, can anyone tell me if this set-up will bolt to the 06 Mavic Crossrides? Or is there something newer and/or better on the market for the money?
Thanks
