I'm not arguing that discs may stop a bit better than cantis.. just whether that is a solution to a problem or not. It's like saying a Porsche is faster than a Honda which may be true but does that matter for commuting.
This fear based statement suggests a problem is lurking around the corner somewhere:
But you will get in some spot sometime where you'll be glad you had the disc
Like I said, I've run a lot of big hills with cantis and never felt I couldn't stop with them.
But then.. you know. I generally ride inferior gas pipe bikes that don't go fast and probably wouldn't recognize the difference quality makes anyway
