we clearly have a vastly different definition of "works fine". i also loathe rim brakes because they structurally weaken the single most critical component on a bike. many cyclists have been injured because their rim explodes and yet you hear far more about the dire risk of spontaneous carpet fiber* delamination than wheel rim failure.
