I have had German, Magura HS 33 rim brakes on a 14 year old bike
I've had for 10 years..
They are the best brakes on V brake posts, for a bike using straight,
or in my case, trekking handlebars .
only issue is they use a unique brake pad, but they are available,
and easy enough to bring spares,
They Literally snap on, to replace them.. EZ .
But V brake posts may be difficult to pull off on a near DIY Bamboo bike frame..
But for BMX there have been adapter plates made,
to put V brakes on a center bolt mounted side pull brake frame.
