the shimano brakelevers and integrated shifter will not work with v brakes ( unless one usues a gizmo who converts teh cablepull from caliper brake to v brake .... called travel agent ) therefore the TT has caliper brakes.

I like disc brakes first than v brakes and than caliper.... The caliper need to be long reach which doesnt help.... the caliper brakes work fine, just that everybody is used to the superior brakepower of v brakes that caliper brakes ( even good ones ) seem to be anemic
