Ever have one of those days?? Last night's ride proved to be one of the scariest crashes I have ever been in with an encounter with a wrong-way rider. Bloodied, pissed, and broken, I had to limp my Goblin home with no rear brakes, and no shifter. I got your angry single-speeder right here! Needless to say, I faired better than the other guy with a tacoed wheel and a broken nose, he had to walk out.
Back to my question - since my rear brake (the housing, not the lever)
is out of commision, it is time to upgrade - but to what? Anyone have experience with the XO or XX brake setup? Is that the way to go or should I find another Elixer 7 to replace it? Any help or shared experience with other brakes is very welcomed here. I am already on the hunt for an X9 shifter as well.
