I don't know if I am going to Disc Brakes for Bicycle Touring

[RollingNoMad]

I do have to admit. The BB7's are a sinch to maintain and look after.

Surly LHT 26in wheel frameset V- Brakes vs Surly Disc Trucker Disc Brakes 26in wheels

Maybe I could buy my 1st Touring Bicycle Surly Disc Trucker 26in 52cm 2018/2019 with Disc Brakes?

I have Shimano XT 10 speed drivetrain in my Storage unit

Feedback is Helpful and appreciated

I know that Disc Brakes have more stopping power over V-Brakes under
Fully-Loaded Touring Bicycle

I have been thinking about Disc Brakes since 11-2008 when I got my Surly LHT
26in 52cm 2008. but I was looking at the Kona Sutra

Well 2012 is when Surly Bikes came out with the Surly Disc Trucker 26in

the 2018 Surly Disc Trucker frameset

I am working on the Disc Brakes: Research
my question is which Disc brakes will be easier to work on
when Bicycle Touring?
Avid BB7 Mountain Disc Brakes mechanical vs
Hayes MX expert Disc Brake mechanical
Long Pull Brakes
It is not fun trying to look for bike parts 10 speed on-line bike shops with Mountain vs Trekking bike parts

Most of my words is copied and Pasted

I will keep my Surly LHT 26in 52cm 2008 Touring Bicycle for Stealth Bicycle Camping/Bicycle Touring

Basically a block of aluminium with a bolt at each end to adjust pad location, and a swing arm for a the cable. Not much to go wrong, and you could easy take a spare caliper if really doing crossing contients stuff.

I was thinking of that just last week, while hacking up New Way. Poor Tony had to go back down and up it twice, to fetch a replacement brake cable (he had the wrong one the first time, or something like that).

I currently have Hope X2 hydraulic brake system on the touring bike, which is a MTB frame. hope are a high class bit of engineering, but over the years since i have been using them I have used different pads, from different suppliers, each time I have changed to different pads i have noticed I get quite different braking results, and length of time they last. The sintered pads I am using currently really work very well, but tend to squeal when wet, on a downhill. Rim brakes have the same problem it OK quoting the wonders of different makes of brakes, but its the Brake pads that do the work and pays to experment with different pads.

At the risk of thread divert I wouldn't use 10 speed on a tourer. The "standard" lht spec should never have gone 10 speed, not until they were dragged screaming.
