So, I've been running
these V-brakes with ball bearings (allegedly) for a few weeks now and they work great - definitely nicer and stiffer than the bendy factory V-brake arms. So now I'm curious as to how the brand-name stuff would feel and perform. I've been looking at LDC, Bullseye, Bombshell, Speedline and the like. But when the ones with ball bearings are twice price of the ones with brass pivots or more, it makes me wonder if having ball bearings for V-brake pivots is really worth it? Keep in mind that this is a folding bike that I ride for fun, exercise and commuting, and not a competition/show BMX. What do you think?
