First of all, a point of view is that disc brakes are better than V-brakes, high-grade - it seems that most of the unfamiliar newcomers to sports bicycles tend to think that disc brakes must be better than V-brakes,
We have heard such words: "more than 2,000 cars, but also No disc brakes"---such words really make people laugh and cry, look at whether it is foreign competitions or domestic professional competitions, if it is a sunny day competition, V brakes still accounted for most of the, of course, there is also a trend to increase the disc brakes, but for the Most of the leisure riding and do not participate in amateur level competition for the riders, V brakes, especially the better V brakes or enough
, of course, for those who like to go downhill, like to ride strenuously, like to pose as a cool rider disc brakes or the right choice, but a penny for a penny, the disc brakes or the V brakes of the trade-offs itself I would recommend that from the point of view of the use of the budget from the self
their own budget to choose more reasonable some. I'd say it's a more reasonable choice for your budget.
Weight
Only note that in general, the low-priced disc brakes are heavier than the V-brake car about 800g to 1kg, and the gap between high-grade cars is smaller. Listing the weight separately, you can see that this is still an important factor for riding that has an impact and has to be considered.?
2 Work characteristics to see the difference?
v brake friction is the rubber mixture and rim contact friction (generally said to be aluminum alloy pin process side, low-grade is the edge of the throw grinding, the so-called edge and throw edge, the edge of the car is better), the general braking effect is still very strong
Strong, unless in the sustained high-speed descent, sustained braking, such as when we went down to the Yellowhorse fork in the road when you touch the rim with your hand, but it is also very hot! The higher the temperature, the more the braking effect
decreases.
Disc brakes are metal discs (generally steel, high-grade aluminum alloy) and disc brake friction between the block to brake, so the brake is very strong, and cars and high-grade motorcycles similar to the characteristics of the
Rain and bad road weather is not
affected by the weather,
Rain and bad road weather,
We are not sure what to do, but we can't do anything about it, because it's not a good idea.
Because the disc brake friction block is a metal sintered material, so and steel friction, even if it is rainy, and there is mud, the working condition is still good, the braking power drop although obvious, but stronger than the V brake rubber and aluminum alloy
Ring friction. There is also the fact that because disc brake discs are made of steel, and generally with holes, the attenuation with the increase in heat during sustained downhill braking is also better than the V-brake.?
3 In terms of price, the so-called value for money?
If it's a $1000+ car versus a $2000+ car?
, it is recommended to use V-brake, almost all the experienced people's statement is: "low-priced disc brakes are not as good as medium-priced V-brake", first of all, to explain this sentence, the price of low-grade disc brakes is in the range of more than $ 2?00 to more than $ 300, including some Taiwan brands such as assess?
ya Color silk, promax, etc., even including shimano's 475, 495 so the official price of more than 500 yuan disc brake, these disc brake effect is very general, which shimano's quality is good
some, but the feel is very hard. Generally if customers want to install disc brakes, although these disc brakes mountain mood car dealerships are stocked, but generally we recommend, unless it is a must to pose cool kids only so much money and to pose
cool, but also had to sell, the new car customers rarely recommended;
V-brake due to the availability of a lot of brands in addition to the shimano, so it is easy to achieve Mid-range braking effect ear not much money, such as the very classic Avid FR5?
Double sided embossed brake handle + shimano M430 brake clamps,? The price of such a set of brakes is only 247 yuan, but the feel is far better than the disc brake system above too much too much, if more budget, the same avid fr5 brake handle, but with avid sd7 high-grade v brakes (briefly installed brake block version of the 300 yuan, hardcover of the 380 yuan, which has been the performance of the very good v brakes)
Which brakes are you suited to?
V-brake community:
Beginners: simple and good maintenance, adjustment, easy to adjust, consumables are cheap, and definitely make beginners handy.
Travelers: easy to disassemble, quick to assemble, easy to maintain, best for traveling.

Visual: Emphasizing the distinctive appearance and the visual representation of everything, the charm of disc brakes is absolutely unstoppable.
Compared with the level: the equipment level is not lost! The best and most expensive is the first disc brake!
Feeling: If you want to brake easily and comfortably, save energy and lightweight, and brake power is smooth, only disc brakes are available!
Downhill fanatic: long and violent downhill, only disc brakes can ensure consistent braking effect
