Why does every post have to turn into these silly arguments? Properly set up canti/v-brakes/disk brakes work well. Each system has it's own positives and negatives. Try not to get worked up just because somebody's fanboy biases make them unable to acknowledge the benefits and downsides of a system. I think sometimes people are just trying to stir things up to amuse themselves. I really wish they had a word for someone like that
