There are no such thing as bad brakes IMHO just badly set-up brakes and bad pads..I'm a bit suspicious of how the shops are all selling disc brakes on road bikes because I think that anything which is more technological like hydraulics will need more attention and cost more money to maintain. But I am admittedly a Retro Grouch: I have some look cleats and shoes which have been in my drawer for 15 years. I had a bad knee experience with them so went back to toe straps and clips. I suppose its up to personal preferance..
