As quoted by anyone riding Campy brakes, "Brakes are for slowing. Not stopping." Gravel and other off road requires discs. As to extra effort, electric WF takes care of effort. I have them on my new Pivot Vault gravel bike and they are wonderful. All my road bikes are Campy rim brakes.

Brakes, who needs them, they only slow you down.

Neat, how does it ride?
I cashed in my business credit card rebates and got a free cargo ebike from Alibaba. It's a RadRunner+ clone with 7 speed, 750w hub motor, 1100w peak output, 5 level PAS, two batteries with combined 36Ah capacity. Hydraulic fork & brakes, LED front & rear lights (brake light activated by brake lever), metal front basket (not installed). ![]()

How do you like the Pinion?? I was thinking of one of these gearboxes for a touring bike.
Cheers

This just arrived last week:
![]() ![]() Pinion gearbox & belt drive under $2k. So far, I have just been shifting manually, but programing the Pinion gearbox it can shift own, even upshift automatically when you come to a stop. Fun ride.
