The science is in, rim brakes are and always have been superior to disk brakes in every metric, weight, stopping power, aerodynamics.The ONLY exception, and there are caveats even to that, is on carbon rims, which are gay.Watch the first part to see the sciencey bit about how the industry lied about disks to force consoomers into buying cheaper to manufacture disk brakes for more moneyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P4IIWsaS5Itfw when they pushed disk brakes in order to usher in a world where everyone would be proud to pay over the odds to ride bikes made of chinese plastic, including fragile plastic rims that cannot withstand the forces of rim braking without exploding in a catastrophic fashion.
not going to watch your shit video, come up with better clickbait it's 2024 not 2018. the current clickbait options are:-hookless: intentionally misrepresented strawmanning and why you're going to die if you don't do this one neat trick big cycling doesn't want you to know!-secrets of carbon: we sliced up this brand new frame to provide you with no actionable information or anything that you couldn't have guessed through intuition-chinese shit that will actually kill you: why it's the best and you should use my affiliate links!-cheap bike vs superbike: we did this pseudoscientific test to show you why you don't need a $15k superbike (spoiler: the $1k bike was slightly slower but it's ok! you're not a pro! click anyway because we're desperate for clicks!)
it's over get over it. you have your hold frame with rim brakes? enjoy it. but don't bother us anymore, just watch an elite bike race and you'll have the answer why
>TFW you realize the rim IS a disc
>>1987234You mean>-cheap bike vs superbike: we jumped through flaming hoops and used every possible bias in our tests to make the advantage of the superbike look significant>>1987247Slow down there Grant.
>>1987230Ah yes, the brake where the only design criteria was to be as aero as possible is the disc brake killer. I've used the previous version of that brake and it's single handedly the worst performing "brakes" produced in this millenia I've had on my bikes.>but muh weight of rim brakesAluminium rims with disc brakes are heavier than equivalent disc brake bike with nice carbon rims. Disc brakes are also the reason wide tires took off big time. Braking performance goes down the bigger the rim and tire the caliper has to clear.
>>1987234Kek
>>1987265>>-cheap bike vs superbike: we jumped through flaming hoops and used every possible bias in our tests to make the advantage of the superbike look significantI have literally never seen a video that does this, because it wouldn't make any sense, all it does is drag down the superbike by mentioning it in the same sentence as a $1k bike. that's why the official youtube marketing pieces for superbikes are just heavy breathing, porno music, and close-up shots of the bike parts that resemble human sex organs, you will NEVER see a superbike shown next to any other bike in superbike marketingcheap bike vs superbike videos are meant to make casuals who would have bought a $400 bike think "oh that $1000 bike is a really good deal" (which it is, but it's still a marketing trick). it's called price anchoring and it's done in most industries catering to people with a little disposable income. $1000 sounds like a lot next to $400. it sounds like a steal next to $15k.
carbon rims shatter
the shilling on that video is so good I almost feel bad for the chap.Yeah brobro, just pray the rain gods will leave you alone on your lunch ride and everything should be fine.
Seems familiar.
>>1987247HOLY SHIIIIIIT!!!
>>1987247big if tru
>>1987230>triathlonWho cares. I weigh 90kgs and good uluminium rims wear out in 2 years. You can shove your aerodynamics up your ass.
>>1987399>>1987397Looks like some Ridley S Scott type shit
>>1987230lmao>aeroIrrelevant compared to the person riding the bike at the speed he does>weightAs if you can tell the difference in weight between riding with a half full bladder and taking a piss and shit before a ride. >stopping power of rim brakes is betterpress f to doubtAlso, luv me big tires on me racing bike.
>>1987290GCN does it all the time and by that I mean I saw 1 video of them doing it.
>>1987230>company with vested interest in selling rim brakes "exposing" the industry for making you consoom discsPlus, nobody running an aero TT/tri setup is going to run comparatively shallow alloy wheels to get better braking, and apart from HED I don't think there's many alloy/carbon hybrid wheels left. Seems a bit contradictory to me to call out discs for having heavier system weight and then suggest using heavier alloy rims just to get comparable braking performance, either you care about being a weight weenie or you don't. Does bike weight even matter for tri?
>>1987230this guy looks like someone told AI to make a serial killer
>>1987230YepThat's the killing blow for disc cucksIndustry pivot incoming lel your disc bike is trash
You're just a contrarian who wants something to argue about. Wrong. Not true. Don't care about your gay eceleb. Also you're gay and wear lycra.
This video is literally an advertisement for their product. Everything they said about disc breaks is true but they only really mentioned it in regards to aero TT/Tri bikes. Yes there's no reason for dick brakes if you just was a fast aero light bike.All other use cases are unmentioned because, surprise surprise the dick breaks offers a better compromise for more people. Sorry to all the rim brake fags out there but it's not like you can't still go out and get a nice used rim brake bike
What the fuck is this rim brakes vs disk brakes meme, I don't use /n/ often but I see it all the time, I've had bikes with both systems and they're both fine, what's all the reeing about.
>>1991364we like to be angry and autistic
hydro discs make my dick
200lbs, 6'5 here. I could lock my wheels in the rain with 105 tech single pivot caliper brakes in 2001.But today you ride disc. LMAO. And you pay extra for a fork stiff enough to do it. Disc riders are idiot consumers and disc is the reason I stopped buying new bikes. Fuck the bike industry and fuck the consumers
>>1994218more or less this.
>>1994218Literally most people who ride bikes don't even think about it at all. "idiot consumers" it's literally not that serious for 90% of people. Disc brakes offer real advantage for normies and regardless, they don't really care For the few people like you who seriously do care, you can still go get plenty of rim brake shit.
