Rimster

A rimster is a person who is skilled at riding a bicycle with a rim brake system. Rim brakes are a type of brake used on bicycles that work by squeezing the rim of the wheel to slow down or stop the bike. Rimsters are known for their ability to apply precise and controlled braking, which is crucial for maintaining speed and control on the road. They often participate in cycling events that require quick and efficient braking, such as road racing and criteriums. Rimsters typically have a deep understanding of bike mechanics and are adept at adjusting their brakes for optimal performance. The term "rimster" is often used to describe cyclists who are particularly proficient with rim brakes, distinguishing them from those who use disc brakes. Rimsters are valued in the cycling community for their technical skill and ability to handle the demands of competitive cycling.
