I accept that there is a spectrum of people who ride bikes for 5 miles a week (me) and 200 miles a week but I refuse to accept that either end of that spectrum cannot benefit from hydraulic disc brakes.
Sure you can lie to yourself that inferior braking is underbiking or they look cool or some other romanticism, but they are shit
People who rode rim brakes and now ride disc brakes know that the past was terrible, like having scurvy in victorian times
