Not being wilfully argumentative, but I'm plenty old enough to have seen a lot (but not all, yet) of the superstition in cycling overturned by proper scientific analysis, and I'm wondering whether people's fear of using a rear disc in windy conditions is superstition or science.

I agree, I'm not arguing for wind being a huge factor on rear discs, more so a reason why discs are not widely used on outdoor tracks.

Personally I have ridden a rear disc (flat one too) in the worst conditions I've ever ridden in outdoors and there was more effect from the wind hitting my bodily frontal area when I stood up than anything affecting the wheels.

I suppose the reparability of a ds wheel might be a factor for some, given the likelyhood of accidents.
