LDCs look like they're very stiff and I very much like the fact that they're American-made, but $80 per wheel is still a hard pill to swallow.
As for my BIL's X-caliber, there have been some developments that forced me to put my plans for promising career as a pro mountain biking world champion on hold for a while. I not prepared say anything more than that at this point, I'm afraid.
I think you are thinking too hard.
I think you screwed up replacing your brakes the first time. They sure sounded like they were good enough the first time.
Those BMX brakes are nice but on your bike, I doubt you’ll notice any difference between them and some $25 Tektro’s. If you still have them, just put them back on.
