One problem with V-brakes on the North Shore was wearing through rims. That
could happen in a few months. Another issue was that to get the stopping power
needed for our terrain they had to be working perfectly. I used to use shifter
cable and housing because it compressed less and provided more power and I had
to do brake maintenance after every ride. So glad those days are over.
