Summer Content: Disc Brakes Are Better

[barnabyjones]

Came across a group ride this morning and realized the inventor of EE Brakes was in the group. If Craig, architect, designer and inventor, is riding disc brakes, well, they must be superior. It hasn't rained in LA since January.

I also learned that riding without a mask is superior to riding with a mask!

This feels like some sort of inside joke.

[nmrt]

maybe he's coming up with a "ee" version of disc brakes. so test riding? :)

[barnabyjones]

Light weight disc brakes!

Would you trust the judgement of someone wearing white shoes?

[XXtwindad]

Before the locksmiths comes a-calling .... I agree with you :)

[fijichf]

That’s because when he applies the disc brakes, they go eeeeeeeeee. :banana:

I think Craig is realizing what we already know.

If we are talking "braking" vs emotional connection, desire and needs then it's not even close.

PS I don't currently own a bike withe the disc brakes but I'm not afraid of them :)

Dude! White shoes are the jam!

Back when Lake lost their U.S. distributor and the market was flooded with surplussed inventory, I bought some white shoes. The problem with them is every time I pedal I see a white flash in my peripheral vision.

But I'm going to go out and take the ee brakes off my bike..

To paraphrase Cardi B, black shoes are short bus and white shoes are super pro.

That you really can't find a decent Asian made frame for rim brakes?:eek:

White shoes are fine. His sock length is totally appropriate. It's cycling we do. We're not 1970s NBA here. Not that there's anything wrong with 1970s NBA.

His bike looks awesome and the disc installation looks clean. He's moved on from his own technology because maybe he feels the new technology suits him better. I am inclined to agree. Looks like a fit rider. I'd ride that bike.

+1...color accents are fine. ;-)

What the heck is wrong with white shoes? Everyone knows white = pro.

[vincenz]

I thought you needed taller socks and no gloves if you were going to wear white shoes.

I can get behind that.
