Thankfully, I don't have any issues going downhill with rim brakes. Moreover, rim brakes bikes are easier to maintain. Dealing with constant rubbing disc brakes issues is such a pain for me. I'll definitely keep my rim brakes sl6.
Two of my bikes are built up with disk, but there's always something that brings me back to riding my rim brake bike. Perhaps it's the lingering thought of death in the back of my mind! So exhilarating.
@@AndreasIhm I already got my Jagwire:D For the specific eebrake size the company told my to get an adaptor. Unfortunately, no one is selling it anymore:s I might try to 3D print the piece. Thx for your reply;)
Hello !! ..... I am the happy owner of a wonderful Storck Aernario G1(Made in Germany) weighing 6.4 kg. I love the rim brakes !!!!!!! , they are sleek and streamlined and very light........I am a freaking weightweenie and never ride in the rain so they are perfect. The disc brakes are heavy, and considering all the reinforcements in the frame, fork and hubs they add approx 500 - 600 grams to the weight of the bike, horrible !!!!! ........ to me the most important thing is finally the weight of the bicycle
Maybe one day disc brake bikes will get very light… who knows. The new aethos from specialized sure demonstrates that. The Storck bikes are super exotic! Congrats! Thanks for watching!
Have you ever thought about just swapping the rims for alloys and Swiss stop bxp pads? I have discs on my commuter/courier-work-bike, mtb and gravel bike but still have a alloy rim brake road bike. I don’t really see discs having much better braking on road bikes because the tire contact patch is the limiting factor in my opinion. At the moment I ride ritchey zeta wheels (20mm internal and 1500g) and think the good transition between tire and rim with 23-25mm tires makes them aero enough. Upgrade somewhen would be fratelli 2035 air rims (20mm internal, 35mm high, 480g) with carbon ti x hubs to be around 1400g. Carbon rims would only be an option on disc for me because of the braking issue. But I’ll wait another generation or two of group sets until I’ll consider a disc road bike. The rubbing of the rotor after braking in corners sometimes and the constant noise when dirt sticks to the pads in the rain is something that would make me too fed up on a long road ride. And living in Lower Saxony the only time I face consecutive long descents is on a trip to the Harz and then it still isn’t any challenge for alloy rims. Or do you feel you can’t do without carbon wheels?
Hi, thanks for watching! I did consider selling those wheels and use a pair a Easton EA90 slx. I have had those in the past and they made me happy. It would also have brought the weight down a bit. As I have a few other bikes, it just made sense for me to sell this one. I ride alloy rims on my cinelli crit bike and to me, it really does not make a difference in terms of performance when riding in a group or in a race. I can feel a small difference in feel when I am by myself or in a breakaway. Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts :)
@@AndreasIhm thanks for your thoughts on alloy vs carbon. Not easy to find useful opinions there. Most guys I know or hear about on the web either never road decent alloys before going carbon or have the urge to justify their investment in carbon. And all the bike media obviously get pushed towards marketing carbon wheels by the brands that work with them…
You want a bike for racing…so you sell one of the best bikes for racing and replace it with a heavy disc brake bike with compromised geometry…wow You silly silly silly boy, I’d quit racing before riding a sack of shit disc bike
Hi! Thanks for watching! Well, to each is own. If you follow me, you’ll see I have a unique criterium bike (rim brake) and I mostly do gravel and cx otherwise. Cheers!

Rim brakes forever
Hi your bike is realy a beauty. I am building one similar. I have issue with the eebrake and my size 52 frame.
The eebrakes have a small size specific version! I also used link housing from Jagwire to make things smooth and snapy!
@@AndreasIhm I already got my Jagwire:D

Just surprised your selling the sl6 its much better than the sl7 in every way
Hi! Thanks for watching. I would be more into a aethos than a sl7. But my next bike is something else. :)
Woah! Would of kept this one in the stead and bought another bike with discs. These are hard to come by these days and are one of a kind.
Hey, thanks for watching. I regret for time to time.
But the person who’s got it is happy and riding it. So it’s all good!
Amazing bike…can’t believe you’re selling it.
Thank you. It was a long thought decision. And a hard one. Thanks for watching!
