>>1503883>you have weak woman handsNo, I say they don't fucking brake even if you pull them with all your might. In the two months I had to suffer through cantis I had five near misses already because I forgot I switched from something that stops on the spot to something that brakes like my first BSO from 15 years ago.
>if you have shit-tier brakesThe entire system is flawed from engieering standpoint, I don't believe it can be fixed with better materials and craftsmanship. It's plain not skookum.
>R8000If you want to pay top dollar you might as well upgrade to brakes that actually brake. Well, as long as you have mounting points for anything other than cantis of course, which vast majority of road frames and forks omit for some reason, mine certainly does. Maybe, just maybe, it's a plot to upsell people a couple years down the line on something that MTBs had for so long that it already trickled down to literal walmart bikes.
>once a year at mostMaybe if you ride once a month. Or you have shitty pads that don't brake at all.
>half an hour25 minutes longer than on disc brakes, 20 than on V-brakes. No regard for servicability.
>with huge tiresDeluded roadies still trying to peddle that thin rubber bands they call tires are sufficient for anything other than perfect velodromes. Real world is not smooth, flat and clean.
>you don't need to take them off the frameNothing on the bike shall be treated as a permanent fixture, everything has to be serviced every now and then. Especially in the real world.
>I WON'T CLEAN ITYeah, I should immediately stop, take out a sponge and clean the bike till it squeaks after I go through world's smallest puddle, otherwise the bike would just randomly let us get T-boned by a car. I'd rather not play russian roulette with brakes, thanks.
>you have a cheap shitty bikeNo, I just don't treat it like a pet poodle. I expect reasonably hard impacts to just put it into limp mode, and not seize it up and make it borderline unrideable.
