True! Discs are for wusses. So are 25mm tyres, more than 8 speed, 21t+ cassettes, compact cranks and fiber frames. Its all Not needed, as proven by the thousands of riders of years past!
Oh, wait! Did I mention I tried a bike with hydro brakes, electric gears, fiber frame and 32mm tyres. It was sweet!
