All three of my road bikes have caliper, rim brakes and since my wife and I only do road riding with a little gravel here and there, I do not have any other bikes. Both of her bikes have rim brakes also.
I guess the one I have had the longest is the Zank, about 8 years. ![]() Around Thanksgiving I should receive my Zukas aluminum road frame. It will have these Velo Orange midreach calipers. ![]() |

Put me in the camp of it never made sense. The only time I've overheated my rim brakes were on a fast descent riding the Tour De Park City where I forgot about a horseshoe turn you hit during a 50+ mph descent. First year I didn't know about it, second year I forgot. Only time I've seem smoke coming up my front end from braking and even then I got through OK....barely....
I live surrounded by mountains and the only descent I even worry about brakes on is the Powder MT HC category climb. I will not ride my few C.F. wheels on that one because it hit's over 20% grade and you have no choice but to ride your brakes a lot coming down due to the steepness and curves, gravel on the pavement, etc. Anyway, a sample of my beauties starting with the David Kirk built ones. ![]() ![]() My all-time favorite still to this day. ![]() This sees a lot of fast descending. ![]() My goofiest and fastest bike. Although, I haven't had it out yet with these wheels. ![]() Oscar survived on them. ![]() Bill Davidson trusted them. ![]() They have no problem stopping this rocket ship! ![]() I rode this down 14% down grades on wet, muddy, loose gravel this past weekend and survived. ![]() They even stop the fastest bike I've been out on this year. ![]() I've got plenty more on top of these. :-) |

Can't get much more modern than this, while keeping the rim brakes.
