Commuting daily in the Northwest, and having recently converted a bike to disc brakes I can say without hesitation disc brakes are superior in every way, with absolutely no disadvantages. Any additional weight, or rotational mass are undetectable. I had to get a new fork designed for a disc brake to do the conversion, and since it was an upgrade from the OE, ride quality was improved, and weight reduced.
