What about V-brake pads on disc brakes?
I do have a disc brake bike now but I don't really like the metallic scratching sound. I prefer the smooth hiss of V-brakes. What if they made a solid disc that would work with V-brake pads?

Get yourself a V brake bike and visualize the wheels as giant discs. Your problem solved.

This is on an old RS Tora fork. Bike has 26 inch wheels too. I'm still on the fence for a 29er.

how much wheel sucking do you do? Might want to take a break from it for a while; it's starting to impact your logical sensibility.
you could create a mp3 sound track that makes the sound you're after & just loop it playing while you ride the bicycle.

What about a can opener to uncap bottles? What about a hammer to unscrew bolts? What about thinking before typing?

Some of us use our teef fer that --- also, the proper application of a hammer can solve a lot of problems
The ready, fire, aim approach also kicks tail for typing too !

I think this was intended as an Andy Kaufman-type bit.
Like the comedy is in the responses or some such?
...and to be honest, there were a couple of good ones hahaha!
