Buzzing along, the light ahead changes and I hit the binders. About a 150 leisurely feet later I stop at the crosswalk. Not good, less than 30 mph to zero in the legnth of my yard.
I have been using a V brake on the front and a caliper out back.
Today I cut some Vs off a curb- sale frame and welded the posts and attached the parts onto my frame.
Went for a ride on wet streets (in and out of the rain) - the bike stops better in the rain than it did dry before.
Rims are alum. (don't know if that matters)
If you can't weld, I think there are some adapters out there to bolt on V brakes.
