I went disc road because frankly that's what all the new frames are.
In my experience, disc road is incredibly great when it's working well and is incredibly frustrating and time-consuming when it is not. Mechanical discs require a lot of fussing, and since I don't bleed brakes I'm unable to even properly service my main road bike that uses hydro discs.
I just built up a rim brake frame and it's so simple and works so well, I'm wondering why I ever messed with discs.
Of course, I really don't ride in the rain any more and I live in a very flat area. So those that do a lot of mountain descents in the rain likely love discs!
