I've bought a mountain bike so I can (a) ride it to work, and (b) sling it in my Range Rover when I go off exploring the countryside in case I want spy a small track I want to investigate. Now, my buddy says that this bike has ABS on the front wheel, but I can't find anything about bike ABS on the Internet. Is he a big liar? |

ABS does exist, although I wouldn't use it. EDIT, which bike? MOAR EDIT: IIRC, there was an abs system on a cantilever stly brake which was a disc with a flat side that roatated against the wheel, so when the round side was against the wheel, the pad wasn't fully engaged. |

A Land Rover Khartoum - but I can't find anything to suggest that it has ABS of any kind. |

I've never heard of ABS on a mountain bike. But then, I stopped caring much about them quite a few years ago (around when disc brakes on a bike were fairly new and fancy). Does it exist and is it worth it? I always enjoyed skidding the back wheel anyway, so you can tell I was far from serious. |

Can I hijack this thread and talk about starbars?

I hadn't ridden a bike for about 10 years, until I borrowed a mates to see if the ride to work was worth it. I remember thinking "I hope it really is like riding a bike, or I'll be on my arse". Also, front suspension had me constantly checking the front wheel because it felt flat. |

Could it be that he's getting confused and calling disk brakes ABS? |
