I have a 2011 Jamis Durango 1.0 Femme and it's a great ride. The disc brakes are mechanical Tektro Novelas and while I wasn't sure if these would work much better than v-brakes, they do. I haven't had any trouble with them in wet and wet and muddy conditions, are quite whether dry or damp outside, and I haven't had to do much adjustment on them. The iffy thing on the bike is the RST gila suspension fork. In a year, I'll get a better fork but for now it'll have to do.
