This can be an essential decision once you

are buying a mountain bike. There are actually

two answers to the problem of disc brakes or

rim wheels.

If you like greater, more consistent brake performance

in all conditions, disc brakes are what you should

be picking. On another hand, if you want the

lightest set up you can have and you're willing to

Recognize small variations in brake efficiency, or you

want the best cost possible, side wheels are

What you need to be choosing.

Over the years, mountain bikes have been through

many design changes. They began with the

original cantilever wheels, then experienced the U

Brake years, and are now with V Brakes. Generally in most

Circumstances, the V Brakes seem to work nicely.

In wet or muddy situations, edge wheels will accomplish

Defectively. Over time, they are able to use through the

side of one's rim, inducing the side of the rim to

blow quickly.

Disk wheels on the other hand have been around for

a long time in cars but weren't used on cycles much

Before the late 1990's. There have been some problems in

the earlier designs, even though wire actuated or

hydraulic brakes of today appear to work quite nicely.

When it comes to performance, disc wheels seem to work

better than wheel wheels, specially in wet or muddy

Places. Cd wheels typically require less pressure

to apply and aren't effected by the wheel or wheel

Issue.

As computer brake systems are generally, cost is definitely an issue

More costly than edge wheels. Technical or cable

actuated brakes certainly are a closer match, while they

will still cost more. Hydraulic brakes on one other

hand cost a lot more.

Whenever you make that final choice, weight out the above mentioned

Your decision is then made by options. Some riders prefer

Disk brakes, while others prefer wheel brakes - rendering it

a matter of opinion.
