I know I can't easily fix a hydro setup with a multi-tool. Mechanicals, however, no problem. You can even get by with a zip-tie fix if you're in a pinch.-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639963782149784163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455317162471408978.post-7498353161425225822008-08-21T03:56:00.000-07:002008-08-21T03:56:00.000-07:00It all depends what hydros you have, some can make...It all depends what hydros you have, some can make you life absolute hell all the time like 08 XT’s and Avid Juicy’s and others can work forever with almost no maintenance like Hayes Stroker’s and Shimano Deore’s. Everyone seems to love the Avid BB7 you pictured because of the simplicity though.<BR/><BR/>I was pretty amazed how well the Rohloff stood up to the 18thousand miles Mark Beaumont gave it round the world.LordOnOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291419328891220367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455317162471408978.post-10751965403560348432008-08-17T09:38:00.000-07:002008-08-17T09:38:00.000-07:00The mullet 69er.

Personally, I've seen a handful of riders at South Mountain in Phoenix dripping brake fluid and having to ride out with one brake (usually the front).<BR/><BR/>I ride out with my single speed and mechanical discs thinking "more gizmos, more problems". If I have to squeeze a little harder and it takes a slightly longer to stop, I can live with that. Maybe I'm just too cheap.<BR/><BR/>At least they're not cantis - that would be really odd.-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639963782149784163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8455317162471408978.post-7793549181155064132008-08-15T13:55:00.000-07:002008-08-15T13:55:00.000-07:00Seems odd, all that in a bike and no hydros?Seems odd, all that in a bike and no hydros?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617819080031235854noreply@blogger.com
