Nihon Jitensha Shinkokai Posted August 20, 2023 Share Rim brakes for life brrrruh!!! Cheap, easy, clean, reliable, lightweight and you can repair/set them yourself with just a Allen-key PLUS they don't squeak or leak. Not to mention, this is a sport where no one has ever won a race by using their brakes... (correct me if im wrong?) BUT if you really want to be fast, buy a track bike and come to the Velodrome - no breaks at all there😎💯 Zebra, Ispeed_V, Thomo and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasilvarsa Posted August 20, 2023 Share Actually disk brakes is the best thing that happened to the Bicycle. Because Cycling is a Snob and Fashion Sport it might be difficult to sell it afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Cycles Posted August 20, 2023 Share As far as rim brakes go, the vias probably has the shittest brakes I've ever come across Chad Minnaar and PregoRoll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted August 20, 2023 Share Never had an accident cos I could not brake enough, but have had a couple where I braked to hard, that with rim brakes. no reason why you should not buy it if the price is right and it floats ur boat.

Sampaj Posted August 25, 2023 Share Thanks everyone. but those brakes are very complex to achieve that aero design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnavel Posted August 25, 2023 Share I wouldn't buy the Vias, regardless of what brakes it uses. While I like a good racey road bike, between this bike and the original venge, it is one of the most uncomfortable bikes I have ever ridden - far too harsh for anything other than perfectly smooth tarmac. It will be a nightmare on our South African roads. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
