(oh brother, not another one of these frikkin guys
)
and I can conclude from that statement that your a prick and think you know everything (jump to conclusions much?)
I understand what you are saying, and I agree and you are all right and I am wrong (happy now?)
except that I have been riding bicycles for longer than most of you have been alive, and I have been running that setup for YEARS now,...so panic all you like, BUT,....
I can do a stoppie for over
FIFTY FEET,...can you?
thats JUST by modulating the brake lever, and trust me when I tell you, IT'S EASY, hardly any pressure required.
now thats a tektro finger lever, for a V BRAKE, and canti brakes, on 700c non machined rims w/ kool stops.
all I said was try it, and you'll know if it's going to work or not.
now those levers are RIDICULOUSLY expensive and they DO make a canti lever, so just get the right lever for your brakes or the V brake police will come and take your set up away.
anyone of you monkeys want to have a stoppie contest for a hundred dollars I live in santa clara, and would love to take your money.
