XT vs XTR Brakes

[LBKloppers]

Wow mr Klopper that is a very nice read and yes on my superbike all that makes a lot of sense however my top speed ever on a mtb was 91kmph and those years I still had v-brakes . So do I need 2 hands to pull my brakes to slow down or will a finger do ? Must I adjust everything everytime I remove a wheel or replace pads ? All basic stuff that most of us fun riders want

Again Physics come into play. V-brakes is a power system based on levers and working on the rim it had a ratio very close to 1:1, but it had disadvantages. The rim was the primary work surface for the brake pads and that is just another bunch of issues. Where v-brakes shined was in the simplicity department, something the hydraulic packages can not compete with.

Long term maintenance and ease of use was not always the strong point on vbrakes.
