Fair points. For me the extra faff and costs of carbon rims and pads is a consideration. But I understand the counters.
I completely agree with that. It's a pain all the rest of the components aren't fully there yet. But if your at the top end chasing marginal gains then discs have a lot going for them.
Although tbh even at the commuting level I've realised discs have a lot going for them. Having a quick spin on my mates pompetamine (which I think he set up with some avids that came in at sub£100 for levers, disks, cables) I realised its miles ahead of my Ultergra 6700 / Swiss Stop green combo.
