Do I need the disc brakes on my bike? A lot of parents ask, is it safer to have disc brakes on your child's bike?

Generally speaking, the current brake system of children's bicycles is mostly front wheel V brake or clamp brake, rear wheel drum brake (also called hold brake); Or front wheel V brake, rear wheel disc brake; High with a point is the front and rear wheels are disc brake. Each of these braking methods has its advantages and disadvantages.

Clamp brake is through the brake leather on the brake to clamp the rim to brake, mature technology, braking effect is good, the price is cheap. But with a long time brake skin and rim will have a larger wear, but win in the cost is low, the whole brake is not expensive.

Hold brake is also a very popular bicycle brake, the advantages of good operability, simple structure, stability, low cost, but also more beautiful. The disadvantage is that the braking force becomes worse after aging or wear, but it is also low cost, and the whole brake is not expensive to change.

V brake is held by V brake clamp ring to brake, relatively light, parts replacement is relatively convenient. V brake is more advanced than clamp brake.

Disc brake is through the clamp on the disc brake, brake response is the most sensitive, feel the most effortless. However, because it is composed of metal discs, it is relatively heavy and complicated to debug and replace parts, and the maintenance cost is also higher than other brake models.

So overall, disc brake is better in performance, but at the same time, daily maintenance will be relatively troublesome. So whether to choose disc brake, depends on the baby's daily riding situation, if often rushed long slope, or often riding in wet road, it might as well consider this brake response faster disc brake, and if the daily basic are yo-yo park or district, the ordinary brake system, is also fully enough.
