Agreed... I rode discs for several years and really enjoyed them, but I now have v-brakes on my new bike. I am fine with v's but never realized until now, just how much crud is produced by the rubber pads. My wheels look like crap unless I clean them often.

I may or may not go back to discs at some point... but I will decide when that time comes, the bikes that interest me and my riding style should it change.

I still enjoy the bike, its still stops... I ride on.
