Rim Brakes Ain’t Dead (Yet)!

Never say never again. When we started nplus2 cycles in 2019 it was for many reasons an easy decision for us to only focus on disc brake compatible wheels for road riding and racing. And you don’t need to look into a crystal ball to predict that in a few years we all will ride…
