casette shifting, again

You're right that linkage is efficient but the leverage is minimal and rubber on chromed steel has a low CF, made worse by dried hard pads. OK, so now it got complicated... Swept area, should that be big or small for the brake to be efficient? Small, right? As in disc brakes where say a single degree of braking on the small disc translates to a much larger distance on the big wheel? Or are disc brakes more efficient because of material interaction and other technology improvements alone? And if the linkage on rod brakes is efficient, how can leverage be minimal unless there is something wrong with the levers, and they seem pretty straightforward to me? Or is it the shackle that is pulled onto the rim, as opposed to squeezed into/around it, which is more efficient? Also, CF, is that some material interaction property? CF might indicate Carbon Fiber but I believe in this case it probably means Coefficient of Friction :-) cheers, John B. |
