You can lock up the wheels with the Avid Ultimate V brakes, so powerful enough for me. I had mechanical discs once with custom solid stainless steel cable outers (no compression) and power was good, modulation ok but constant adjusting, disc rubbing and pad wear was a pain. Compared to the discs...

Those yellow and red bits of tape were put on there just to mark where to fit the gear shifters when first getting it out of the box.

new Jones Hi mbkot, thanks for the get well message. Rather than give on ever riding again I am taking time out to do all the things I can to help the situation and see if can turn things around. Hey Saltman, good meeting with you, although it was difficult selling the bike so prematurely I'm...

jones mudguards Hi mbkot, the Jones Blog pictures of my bike show his own saddle and post, I bought a complete bike except the seat/post. He just fitted them for the pics. The guards would be too flexy and rub the tyres without the stiffening brackets Jeff made, very precisely made and well...

The Jones is usually used with gears, hence the front mech and shifter left in place while trying out the single gear. For me suspension on a bike did nothing for any back issues I've had, bumps from the ground are not the problem, it is the position my lower spine is forced to adopt using any...
