^^ The mechanical disc's that were on here (Tektro) are not the greatest, and I REALLY had to squeeze down to stop. The Raleigh that I was looking at had Haynes brakes, so those were nice. The Rockhoppers V-Brakes are amazing with their response, and you don't have to be slamming on your brakes all the time so you won't worry about overheating your rims.
