What type of brakes is least subject to failure in the winter? "Don't have to pull as hard" is a false advantage. In poor conditions the bottleneck is defined by the available traction, not by braking force. I.e. it is not about pulling hard at all. Hydraulic brakes allegedly provide better modulation, although this is arguable. If so, this could be an advantage, not the increase in braking force. We simply don't need any increases in braking force compared to mechanical disc brakes. We have no meaningful use for it. |

Why don't road bikes have disc brakes? The title of the question contradicts the actual question. The text of the question implies that there are road bikes with disc brakes, while the title implies that there aren't. |

Why is BMX gearing so low Did you mean "so low"? Your description suggests that the gearing is actually too low. Yet for some reason you keep saying "too high", until in the last sentence you suddenly suggest that it should be adjusted even higher. (???) |

Is standing up and peddling on multi-gear bicycles a bad idea @mattnz: The question is about standing up as pedaling technique specifically. Protecting one's arse from rough-road impacts has as much to do with pedaling technique as standing up to snatch an apple from an overhanging branch. |

Is China dumping cheap spokes on America market? "What am I to do?" Try to avoid crooked dealers. What your "Raleigh dealer" told you sounds an example of most intelligence-insulting dealer scam I heard lately. |
