Sounds like you've just ridden shit or badly set up discs, hydraulics
are pretty much fit and forget. If you're just doing roady/fixie shit
then a good rim brake is plenty good enough, just not as good.No, I don't have any bikes with discs. Worked on plenty as a mechanic though, during their introduction to road bikes. Some of what I witnessed would've been down to teething issues, but the rest just goes with discs.
Some folks will never experience a single issue for sure, but when you do get an issue it can be a proper PITA, unlike with rim brakes where just about any drama is a piece of piss to sort, if dramas with rim brakes were even a thing.
