First of all... happy New Year! Wishing you great roads in 2017! I’ve been traveling for a few years now with a high-quality mountain bike, but it’s equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. I live (pedal) with the constant worry of a breakdown (leak, air bubble, heat causing the fluid to...). My bike mechanic tells me it’s impossible to switch them out for V-brakes. What do you all think? Am I taking a big risk continuing (alone) with these brakes? Thanks in advance for your great tips!
