Anyone avoiding discs for road/gravel?

Yes raced in rain and yes been on hard fast and tight rides in the rain too. Adjustment and he right gear is a big factor, as is a whole different level of anticipation (such as using brakes as braking surface squeegees). That said, yeah certainly in that particular situation discs are likely to perform better given an equal level of prep and anticipation as rim brakes. Of course, until everyone in the races has them it could be they spell the demise of someone behind you.

I guess since i do not get paid as a professional to race I may worry less about that particular situation than some .
