Taco either of your wheels and you will see the glory that is disc brakes!
That's exactly what happened to my friends bike when we were riding in New Mexico. Coming down the mountain he tacoed his front wheel. A bike mechanic was with us and fixed it as best he could, but had to unhook his front brakes. He had V-brakes. If he'd had discs he would have been fine. Coming down the side of a mountain missing your front brakes is no fun.
