new disc bike cost more than new rim
I didn't type that shit out to say you should go buy disc brakes. I don't even own a bike with disc brakes. I'm just saying you guys say they are arbitrarily bad when in reality you don't want new tech shoved down your throat. I get that, its a valid concern. But disc brakes are better at being brakes then rim brakes are, and if you want that tech its not "bad"
