This wasn’t a thread asking for debate about whether disc brakes are appreciated in Chicago. This was a thread started by somebody who’s looking to buy a new road bike, asking for suggestions on which bikes will work, and experiences on how they ride.
Somehow a bunch of people who are not able to answer the question, decided to come pee in Bazbo’s cheerios.
What is it about somebody else wanting to buy a bike with disc brakes that makes you want to post “no ur dum” in his thread? Not just you specifically, a lot of people. If you don’t know the answer (to
which non-gravel bikes take discs and feel racy?) why the need to come in and announce that you feel like the question is wrong?
