It's technology. Parts. It's not being forced on you. Keep an open mind.
Show me the data. Do clipless pedals make riders any more efficient? No, they do not.
Do discs offer shorter stopping distances? No, they do not.
Do discs offer better "modulation?" Quantify it, test it and show me the results.
Do discs work better in the wet? I don't go for rides in the rain very often. Don't care.
Do discs work better in the snow? Don't care.
