I’m from back in the day when all there was were cantis, u-brakes, and center bolt calipers, so I got a bad case of BTDT and don’t want to do that again. Back then, I tried so many, from Shimano XT to SunTour XC Pro, to DiaComp 986 and Ritchey Logic; always wanted Avid Tri-Aligns, but never swung it. When Vs came out— OMG XTR!— was a major quality of life upgrade, and then when I got my first discs 16 years ago, that introduced me to the ne plus ultra of braking. **** cantis…the hard way.
