TRADITIONAL BRAKES

Brakes: Your wheel diameter, tire and fender clearance requirements will determine the available brake styles. Most “road” brakes are limited to 25C (1 inch) tires without fenders. For racing, of course, it’s a must. They are functional for a wide range of good weather road riding.

In recent years, good quality brakes have appeared on the market that provide the style of a road brake while providing more room for bigger tires plus fenders. A growing number of riders are choosing cantilever and disc brakes to accommodate a wider range of tire and fender options. They can ride with the same 23-25C tires when conditions permit but can go to a fatter tire for different kinds of terrain and riding conditions.

The list at right shows examples of popular brake styles and their maximum tire size limits.
