Many only want them in races where everybody has them or no one.
So if a recreational rider doesn't ride steep descents and doesn't ride often in the rain, why get them?
Agree, but if they're not going to ride steep descents or in the rain, should they be allowed to ride at all? Those are some pretty serious limitations than only nature can influence. I mean, I wouldn't want anyone that gets caught in a rain shower to get by without discs so it stands to reason that it makes more sense not to ride at all rather than risk what nature may bring.
