I could, but then I lose my hydros. Weight matters not, and I already have the hydros in place on the Soma anyhow. I love hydros on steep hills. Yes, I also have some bb7 calipers I could put into the system but then I need new brake levers as well. Seems to me the best and cheapest soltion with the parts at hand is to go dual brakes. Yes, I'll need a new fork if I want dual front as well but hey... a nice carbon fork is lighter than the steel one the Soma has anyway. For now I'll run the back as it is and when I feel rich I'll swap out the front fork and add in another v brake.
