we actually pulled it off and the big brands are keeping v-brake compatible options in the lineup. im honestly speechless that we managed to get them to listen to us. keep an eye on the new catalogs next year to make sure they stick to their word.
Noi utenti di MTB vogliamo far sapere a tutte le marche del settore ciclo che molti bikers vogliono continuare ad usare i V-BRAKE.
5 punti per dire che il V-freno è ancora ottimo:
1 - minor peso dei dischi
2 - hanno potenza in abbondanza
3 - minor manutenzione
4 - minor costo dei ricambi
5 - posso regolare fili e guaine a piacimento nella mia cantina (basta solo una brugola del 5)
di conseguenza: rimuovete i V-freno dai vostri prodotti = NON compreremo i vostri prodotti
esempio: se rimuovete il V-brake dalla forcella ammortizzata... compreremo forcelle che ammettono l'uso del V-brake (in questo momento apprezziamo Avid e Manitou per continuare a produrre prodotti per V-Brake di alta gamma)
ENGLISH
We MTB users ask that all brands about cycling consider that A LOT of bikers want to keep using V-BRAKE sistem.
5 points to say that V-brake are still good:
1 - less weight than disks
2 - have power more than enough
3 - LESS maintenance
4 - less spare parts costs
5 - I can regulate wires and girdles in my own garage (it's enough just an allen key n°5)
consequently: if you remove V-brake from your products = we DON'T buy your products
example: if you remove V-brake from Suspension forks... we'll buy a Fork's brand that admit the use of V-brake (in this moment we appreciate Avid and Manitou in order to keep to produce produced for V-Brake of high range)
just hit 250 signatures and its cool seeing so many of you guys still riding v-brakes. honestly didnt think this many people kept their setups simple in the garage too.

im honestly blown away by how many people are still riding v-brakes and sticking to their guns. seeing this kind of support proves that we dont need complicated systems to have a great time on the trails.

im still getting tons of messages from people who just want to fix their bikes in the garage without needing a degree in engineering. honestly its wild how many of you are just as annoyed as i am about stuff being made harder to maintain by these big brands. keep the stories coming because they actually read this stuff.

i vbrake sono immortali (e mica tutti devono scendere a 200 km/h dalla cresta della montagna in condizioni di pioggia)! ;)

V-brakes for life! Simple and effective. Why overcomplicate a perfectly good bike setup?

basta con sta storia dei dischi che pesano un casino e costano solo soldi per la manutenzione. i v-brake per me restano i migliori punto

Disk brakes are just overkill for the riding I do. Keep the V-brake options available please.
