Traveling under false pretenses.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Huh?
No imitations there, all are pics of the same product.
I was referring to 70+ years of Shimano.

Do people still use rim brakes? I thought everything had moved over to discs, at least above the lower tier stuff.

Apparently not the girl that works at WalMart, she seemed skeeved out when I asked her how much she weighed and if she could climb in the cooler to check the size.
Well, aside from the hinges and the cable actuated squeeze, there's no comparison.
Cane creek is cutting edge boutique stuff and Shimano can make a beautifully functional, no nonsense and good looking component in batches of 187663657828377 and they are all perfect.
Shimano on all my bikes!
They make some great fishing reels too. I wouldn't trade my Stella reels for anything.
The disappearance of rim brakes is probably accurate in the mountain bike world, but in the road bike world I think we'll see them for a few years.
Rim brakes are definitely a good bit lighter and strong enough to put your ass on the ground at any moment you may or may not wish to visit it.
That said I have a few bikes and only one has rim brakes. a 2012 road bike.
Discs are really nice, until you have to work on them.
