I'm glad to have hydraulic disc brakes on my all-rounder bike. Not having to squeeze the brakes hard on every downhill, particularly on wet surface, is a blessing.
Today I experienced two things:
1) Some random guy from #WarmShowers popped by to mine so that I can show him how to replace #DiscBrakes on his #bike. We had a cool chat, drank coffee and he also did his lunch prep at mine.
2) I tried to pick up the slack on my #OSS & #JS contributions and tried to make a reproduction for a bug I reported earlier. I found out that I can no longer find the code that was failing for me and also that I can make vanilla project fail to boot just by trying to copy&paste steps from READMEs.
So, yes, I am absolutely ready to abandon all the tech and move to the mountains and grow my own food. Why are you asking?
I just read this piece in Outside by a cycler disgruntled with the advent of disc brakes. Share with me your opinions on disc brakes on bicycles. I love mine. The only service I've done so far is changing pads. Once I looked at several videos and did it once, it was pretty easy. The pads are pricey, though. My levers aren't squishy to the point that I think I have air in the lines and need to bleed them. #bicycling #bicycles #discbrakes #brakes https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/opinion/disc-brakes-took-over-the-cycling-world-heres-why-that-was-a-mistake/?_hsmi=280261039&utm_term=ool&utm_campaign=dispatch&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--Jn1KjBkaPkTedvSsNzWJ7hmf7LEbLZ12NTVsB5ZK0gePka752MZYUP8UXcIraIIkUmNBcaNhIUwDE2xKYBpZkdDpXhA
Dass man heutzutage an jedes Fahrrad Scheibenbremsen dran montiert, habe ich auch nie wirklich verstanden.
Zum Glück konnte ich mein Rennrad noch mit Felgenbremsen konfigurieren. Da will ich gar keine Scheibenbremsen haben. Die Bremswirkung ist jederzeit überragend und bevor die Bremsen Probleme bekommen, dreht schon lang der 28 mm Reifen auf der Straße durch, besonders im Regen.
Es gibt auch andere Leute mit dieser Meinung:
I do enjoy a good rant, and in this episode (#173) of the Cycle Systems Online podcast, Sean Lally gets ranty in an entertaining way about disc brakes and troubleshooting.
It’s also full of great information and advice, as ever.

YouTube videos make bleeding #hydraulic #brakes look simple. Everything is now covered in mineral oil! Glad it cleans up easily. #BikeTooter #mastobikes #cargobike #discbrakes #bicycle
