Can't decide whther to go for hydraulic discs or just plump for good, ol fashioned V brakes.
I had a bike with hydraulic discs and initially thought they were great. Then I realised that they would need to be serviced at some point and I realised that I didn't kow how to do that. Bleeding brake fluid and changing pads seems like car servicing to me.
So I'm starting to think that for my type of riding (cross country trails, nothing technical) that Vs would be a more sensible choice.
The only downside that I can see to Vs is that they will wear through more rims - is this the only consideration?
