I was at diablo last weekend, and overheard in a conversation that "floating brake arms are obsolete" Now i personally see nothing wrong with a floating brake, especially 1 that is pro squat. I guess his opinion was along the lines that frames should be designed so good that they dont need them, (split pivot for example) But it got me wondering, Is the typical floating brake arm outdated? Should bikes that dont have them get them? Does a kona with a floater brake better than a TR450? Discuss! Im curious because the first bike i ever had with a floater was my dh9, which i felt had pretty good braking, granted i didnt own it long, but i liked it. Should we hate on floaters?
