i decided to start biking again (nothing too serious, just as a hobby).
so during the last days i "revived" my old MTB (which stood approx. 5 years in my cellar) to new life.
well, it nearly works as it should (just the shifting system is bitching abit, but nothing too difficult).
Now some question refering the braking system came into my mind.
Over one decade ago i changed from Cantilevers to V-Brakes, which gave me a benefit in braking force.
So does anyone have the experience if the difference between V-brakes and disc braking systems are worth the extra money i would have to spent?
I am not the hardcore dirt tracker or need high performance brakes, but i wanna be able to break safely when the wheels are wet / abit muddy.
Until now my V-brakes (which are quite good tho) made no big problems, but i alrdy experienced less effectivity when the weather is abit unfriendly.
while we are at it: anyone can advice a safe, not too expensive and cool looking cycle helmet? Lost mine due the years.
Oh and this is not an option
