I tried riding on some mechanical discs on a CX bike and was quite disappointed tbh-really hard to modulate, and quite abrubt when they did actually stop. A well set up rim brake is, in my opinion, better than shit discs
Yeah, my experience with mechanical discs too. Much prefer rim to disc for mechanical brakes.

A well set up rim brake is, in my opinion, better than shit discs. Yet I do recognise hydraulic is supposed to be much better, so I'll reserve final judgement but till then, quite happy with rim brakes.
If it aint breakin' don't fix it kind of thing.
