>>1072577>A hot knife would not cut through a steak better than a room temperature knife wouldbut a dull hot knife would which is what discs are.
>>1072475>>no one has mentioned discs as a solution to the issue of heat build up and thus decreased braking power on carbon rim brake bikes.true. but its mostly on issue with carbon clinchers, not with carbon tubulars that pros use - most carbon rims have different surface for braking, but carbon clinchers fail often no matter the braking surface.
>>1072361>>1072429>>1072455>>1072457less force on the brakes makes more chill and controlled braking - mtb discss allow for one finger braking which means more fingers on bars = more control. road calipers need more than one finger brake on descents.
But I like the feel of rim brakes on bigger rims, you can feel the "rotational flex" more on 29ers than on 26" disc brakes for instance due to spokes flexing from the hub.
still not worth the more rotatioanal weight, mainintence, price, and aero compromises in my book.
