Bicycle brakes are used to slow down or stop a bicycle. There are three main types of bicycle brakes: rim brakes, disc brakes, and drum brakes. Each type of brake has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Rim brakes are the most common type of brake found on bicycles. They work by pressing a pad against the wheel’s rim. Rim brakes are typically cheaper and easier to maintain than other types of brakes. However, they can be less effective in wet or muddy conditions.
Disc brakes are becoming more common on bicycles. They work by pressing a pad against a metal disc that is attached to the wheel. Disc brakes offer more stopping power than rim brakes, but they can be more expensive.
Drum brakes are less common on bicycles, but they offer the best stopping power of all the brake types. Drum brakes work by pressing a pad against the inside of a metal drum that is attached to the wheel. Drum brakes are typically more expensive than other types of brakes.
