The stand by manufacturers to gravitate toward disc has taken off quickly. So quick that it is dismaying to me. I am okay with the option but don’t do away from old school minds like mine who like rim brakes.
I remember being disappointed more than ten years ago that you couldn't get a road bike with disc brakes, only a cross bike. It's been a long time coming, for them to reach ubiquity. Really shocking that people resisted.
