AI Summary
Works as a brake, comparable to a rim brake at the most though. Still, having a disc brake is still advantageous: - no rim wear, - better brake performance in the wet - easier to install than hydraulic - With the included disc I have the problem, that the brake does not center itself perfectly every time, so I sometimes have to tap the brake to recenter. Could also be the brake pads (Switched to Shimano metal)
