Fuck are you on about man

Suck my balls man I have rim brake and disk brake bikes. I don't know of rim brake bikes that fit 3 inch tires, let me swap to 700c from 650b, and remain serviceable in the field. All while being cheaper than a modern rim brake alternative, and more sensible than upgrading an old rock hopper or whatever.

What do you expect people to do, in any case? They don't make decent rim brake big-tire bikes anymore. Also there's always some kind of compromise with drop bars, either deal with cantilevers, use a travel agent with v brakes, or buy mini v's and have no rim clearance. I have tried all three, and compared to just using dick it's give or take. At least with dick I can drop the wheel easily and have no concern if my wheel bangs out true 1mm. I don't pretend that on average rim brakes don't feel "nicer" than average cable dick. But to also act like there is absolutely 0 reason someone should choose it over canti posts is silly. You just have such a ridiculous attitude that of you buy cable disks you will immediately EXPLODE and die.
