Evening all ,
Just want to ask for peoples opinions on the above .
My theory is that the bigger the disc , the stronger the brake or why else would racing cars/bikes have such big discs ?
That -to me- means rim brakes . After all you obviously cant get a bigger disc than the rim .
Would hydraulic bakes theoretically be more powerful than V or cantis ? Never tried but I would assume it takes less lever pressure to slow down using hydraulics . ie; Maguras or something like them .
Would/are normal , modern disc brakes - in summer where rim/pad wear is not a factor on the rim brake designs - more powerful ?
Or have I just got too much time on my hands on a Saturday evening
Thoughts please ,
Thanks ,
Mike
