OP here/.... Old thread but I'm happy to report back on my question.... Rims or Disc's.??
I went with Disc's and couldn't be happier. Such a great feel in the hands. Good feedback. Great modulation. I'm impressed. I really wanted Hyd. Disc but in the end the Specialized Diverge E5 came with Disc's and they have performed very well over a short 300 miles.
I'd recommend them to anyone.
