Sometimes it's hard to separate reality from the hype. I've never owned a disk-braked bicycle so I do not have any first hand knowledge on the matter. So for me, at this stage of my brake type education, I'll probably be going for rim brakes. But I am open to new information and reserve the right to change my mind.
