Well, I have rim brakes on front, track 14T back 48T front on my everyday grinder, using around 50% force to slow down on 50km/h or more, hard to imagine how this can work with disc brakes. Always thought they're mostly invented for downhill or MTB

Discs are far superior braking to rims, especially in the wet - no arse clenching moments waiting for the film of water to clear before the bite of the blocks on the rim.
Far far easier modulation. I don't understand why you think it's suicidal tbh

Mostly and mainly because I never used them, I was riding roadies in 90's then switched to track. Just exchanging opinions here.
