Hm, yeah was just a guess. I could not live with screeching brakes either, the horror of riding a screeching loaded bike down a high alpine pass 😁

Probably was just your rim / brake pad mix. I remember had a screeching bike like this too when i was young, but on my current bike with v brakes it does not screech.

If i would buy new, i probably would want to go for disc brakes, not that there’d be much other choice, haha. But i feel people have a warped view on v-brakes, i have no real complaints. Super simple mechanics. Big alpine passes, loaded bike, in the rain… the stuff that people tell you is impossible is in my lived reality no problem at all. And holy shit do brake pads last a long time on those. I still like v-brakes, certainly not something that makes me want to buy a new bike.

They did not say there was something wrong with wearing a helmet.

Yeah it was something like that, very low price compared to what SMS were charged for.

WhatsApp was not free and already had a massive user base before Facebook bought it.

Hope this will turn people to alternatives.

Ah. It kinda looked to me like the terrain would fall off after the horizon.

That looks sweet. Is it some kind of high plateau?

Are you ashamed of your post history or why did you create a new account for this noble cause?

Nice topic!

…on a little trip last week in the Vosges, France.

No big deal for us chad Europeans.

Looks like a sweet ride. Thanks for sharing.
