why get disc brakes?
Unless you ride in the wet, can't understand why you'd do disc. Oh yeah, maybe you want to do wide tires. You can go bigger than 28 mm with medium reach brakes and Whisky medium reach caliper fork. Less parts, less weight.
On the other hand, I was doing an 8 kilometer, 8% descent last month in France on my medium reach travel bike and I was wondering if my brake pads would catch fire or my rims would melt. I was thinking disc brakes would have provided a sense of safety in that situation.
