Rim brake vs Disc Brake Aero test.

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hey, I was perfectly content to quietly ignore your usual bull****, sales pitches, and self-aggrandizing, but "It's not all about me" was just too much to resist.

That's great for you.

No one is denying you your personal choice. Please show others the same courtesy.

It will come as a surprise to you that you're not in charge of the internet, Bob. So I'm politely declining.

It didn't work the first time, Bob. What makes you think the second time will be any better?
