Is this story your version of the "truth" or yet another parody?

You as a member of this usenet group have the option to decide what is
relevent. http://highracers.blogspot.com/2005/...omatose-by-wal... Stop_Me_Not |

I think if there is some truth to this, then it may be relevent. That
is, if there is a safety issue with braking on highracers, I'd like to know more about that. Jim |

Jim,
It is a well known story the use of Taiwanese knockoff's of traditional dual pivot designs failed miserably on many early Bacchetta's. Company releases on usenet and discussion forums hinted at the investigation of better Kool Stop brake pads which they eventually moved towards. However there still are many pre-Kool Stop bikes around with inadequate stopping ability especially with plus 200 lb. riders. Word is, the delay in the change was strictly money related waiting for the "cheapest" possible price. Bacchetta would put in harms way, their customers to save a few pennies. Stop Me Not |

Now that you mention it, I do recall reading about mushy brakes with
the first Bacchettas. I can't recall if I read that online or in RCN... Jim |
