I love rim brakes and not once in my life have I ever thought too myself “yep brake modulation is good but I want to take it too the next level“.. I have also never used the brake heavily in an emergency and wished that I had more stopping power. I could stop on a dime with rim brakes. The issue isn’t the brake being strong enough, the issue is me being thrown off the handlebars if I don’t position my weight correctly.
Road cycling is about going fast, not stopping…. but I can’t speak for fatty fatty boom boom gravel riders amd mtb bros..
That being said I think disc brakes are good because:
-you won’t fuck up your carbon wheels
-rim brakes suck with carbon wheels when it’s raining
-they make a bicycle look cool as fuck
Reasons why I use rim brakes
-I am poor and can’t afford carbon wheels or disc brake bikes
-disc brakes are too complicated for my retarded brain to understand
-new things scare me
