Its mostly that I've put so much work into it and the original wheels are garbage. I now realize I should have stuck with EA3 wheels but I've already bought the other parts, (rim etc.)

So I bought nice stuff, lets say its 90$ in total. To switch to the other better braking method with crappy parts will be 80$. So since i own the 90$ of stuff, to use the other method its 170$ and im doing this to 2 bikes simultaneously so its 340$.

These bikes have been nothing but headaches.
