It is no less relaible than whatever rim brake system you are comfortable with.

All my touring bikes have used rm brakes, so clearly I am content with them, but my hydrsulic disc gravel bike stops easier/better than any of the touring bikes. It isnt like I feel underpowered when braking on my cantilever bikes, but the hydrsulkc dosc brakes certainly are easier to actuate and inspire more confidence.

But again- the bike in question uses a cable actuated brake so your complaint about hydraulic brakes doesn't apply.


I find it neat that we have so many options for bikes right now.
