It's a whole other discussion, but disc brakes are superior to rim brakes, but some people put form over function,Discs on MTB's and Hybrids, rims on road bikes.
Unfortunately like a good joke if it has to be explained...........It was a parody.
I don't know why but from time to time critical remarks are made. From memory it revolves around using cheap Chinese frames and poor bottom brackets. I don't really take much notice.Can I ask why
I’m kinda new to cycling. Like started last year. And started racing this year
A few guys have cervelos... they look pretty and these guys seem to do fine
what’s the criticism
There are some very good firms in China,Cambodia etc. who turn out consistently good quality product. Their factories are modern, hi-tech and their processes are well thought out.Overall I feel if bikes are in some way a rip off the manufacturers would have been found out by now.
I checked! Honest!Probably further up the thread
Not if the ordering company specified crap in the first place.There are some very good firms in China,Cambodia etc. who turn out consistently good quality product. Their factories are modern, hi-tech and their processes are well thought out.
Their labour costs are low which creates a handsome proft and they are producing boxes and boxes of identical bikes copied from an engineered prototype/template.
Now just imagine if one of those identical bikes failed and killed the rider and that fault was found to be endemic in all bikes of that model?
The UK Vendor would be crucified in the press for selling cheap dodgy bikes which would destroy its reputation amongst the great unwashed as the leading UK bike specialist.
To try and cover some of its disastrous losses, the UK Vendor would instigate a recall to rectify the fault and would activate an indemnity clause against the manufacture.
So, if a manufacturer routinely used cheap materials, bad factory processes and slack quality control, they would indeed have been found out by now.
I may have missed the markUnfortunately like a good joke if it has to be explained...........
Used brake discs make brilliant Throwing Stars.All this talk about rim brakes, 19 century that way ———>
That would be incriminating.If only you had an actual photo of an old rotor 😂
