>>1735470really nice build
how do you like those kool stop mtb pads? I tried setting some up on a neighbors beater recently and found them like, too strong, and grabby, and it was making her fork chatter worse, even with toe.
whereas I have them on my marin that I actually ride trails on and when they're a bit muddy/wet or on a really steep offroad hill they go from being a bit unpleasant to great and reliable.
As opposed to most rim brake pads that go from being nice to scary in those conditions.
it got me thinking the kool stop mtb pads, especially salmon or dual ones, are overkill for beaters, and that thinline or supra or even road pads might be better, even on v-brakes, because they're all smaller, and also, maybe just black or the other regular colors.
