Maybe your friend was trying to shift his gears with a stick when they crashed, or their fender jammed, or their overloaded Wald basket/nitto rack failed into their front wheel? ;-)
My point is, any bike rider can wipe out. V-brakes can have the same type of on/off problems with modulation that you're referring to with disk brakes, but I don't think disks are inherently more dangerous. There's many situations or environments where they could be easily be seen as being more safe. My experience with disk brakes has been super positive; even the cheapo hydro models are so much nicer that cantis IMO. -Kevin In Madison, WI -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
