isPermaLink="false">http://www.cxmagazine.com/?p=26551</guid> <description><![CDATA[There is no denying that disc brakes are gaining in popularity among cyclocross bikes.  One look at the ’cross bike photos from the recent Eurobike and Interbike trade shows is enough to show that disc-brake-equipped ’cross bikes are the wave of the future.  Their benefits are well known; tire clearance is now only a matter of the frame. They are more powerful with more control and they are not so nearly affected by water and mud.  Apart from all these benefits though, the tighter tolerances associated with disc brakes lend themselves more easily to poor adjustment, and improper adjustment on disc brakes can ruin your race more easily than a poorly adjusted cantilever.  Too loose and you lose your braking altogether; too tight and your brake drags the whole time. The down side is these poor conditions happen a lot easier to disc brakes than to cantilevers.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.cxmagazine.com/mechanical-mondays-disc-brake-setup/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> <enclosure
