Does anyone have any data on a centre pull brake, like a tririg or other on a p4/s5 specifically?
I ask because I chatted to an aero expert who said that the key difference between the p3 and p4 was the headtube, they spent tonnes of time getting it right, and that actually a centre pull brake could be a bad idea because it would disrupt the airflow onto the headtube and along the frame.
He said that the tririg works well on the old and new p3 but not on the s5 and p4. Or at least it wasn't the kind of saving that Ero found on the old p3 of 6w.
Any thoughts on this? It sounds logical.
He said if anything he would try and run a brake cable as out to the side as possible, to keep the headtube clear.
If it seems like it might be true I may stick with the far better braking of the DA, as the tririg is too pricey and my other alternative, the campag centre pull is horrible at braking!
