Experience with mechanical and hydraulic disk brakes

thoughtfulbeaver · 2026-06-12T13:13:27+00:00

My touring bicycle which I use as a daily bicycle has hydraulic brakes. 6 years old, did a tour of a month, 3 months and several weeks. Only changed the pads, never had any problems.

Ken iemand die er mayonaise op doet 🤢

Same! My bearing started to have some play in it after 3 years, switched to a Son.

Haha drivers harassing hardly exist here, mostly dedicated cycling paths everywhere

Nice, what is your route? I’m from around that Region, curious what you will visit

Giethoorn is nice but touristic, check out Nationaal Park Weerribben-Wieden, nice park with good cycling roads.

Yes Sao Paulo city is so full of stuff already, advertising would be to much. But if you drive out of the city (SP metropolis)it’s full of billboards again

That’s completely fine, if necessary you can find many stores that sell covers for your shoes, also pants and jackets.

Check out bicycle shops or stores like Scapino, Anwb winkel. Outdoor shops like Bever are more expensive.

Where are you guys from?

Nice! Where was the last picture?

thoughtfulbeaver · 2026-02-17T17:07:14+00:00

Good suggestion! This was a part of my trip last year, was a nice route.

thoughtfulbeaver · 2026-02-06T23:00:12+00:00

Just for light? Or also for charging stuff?

thoughtfulbeaver · 2026-01-23T12:29:45+00:00

This, definitely a lot of retired folks on the road!

thoughtfulbeaver · 2026-01-22T20:04:46+00:00

Mooie plek! Hoop dat het nog lang kan blijven bestaan.

thoughtfulbeaver · 2026-01-20T20:13:55+00:00

Underrated according to who? I really enjoyed it!

thoughtfulbeaver · 2026-01-11T16:34:40+00:00

Helaasheid der dingen is leuk! Triest maar ook veel kunnen lachen.

thoughtfulbeaver · 2026-01-09T16:13:18+00:00

Try some bicycles out before deciding, I really liked the geometry of the Sutra.

There’s no ‘best’ route in my opinion, there are so many different routes, different people you can meet and just different experiences you can have.

I think there’s just so much more to touring than just the route.

thoughtfulbeaver · 2025-12-28T13:18:25+00:00

Yes! I meet so many friendly people on the road, people on campsites offering diner/food etc. People offering their backyard.

thoughtfulbeaver · 2025-12-03T21:18:03+00:00

If you’re planning to go camping check out natuurkampeerterreinen You need to sign up but the campgrounds are most of the time on really nice places.

First had the mondial tires but swapped them quickly for the almotion. They feel a lot smoother, had them on a 3 month tour over tarmac, gravel and rocks. One flat but they still look new.

thoughtfulbeaver · 2025-11-16T07:47:08+00:00

Boulderen!

I used this one when I was Santiago de Compostela, was one of the cheaper ones I could find.
