How much would the price jump to get under 20 pounds? How about a carrier block for the front?
My main ride has disc brakes and the stopping strength is notably better than my non-disc bike (and previous bikes), but I'm not that keen on disc brakes. All for the ridiculous reason that I don't know them and can't work on them. I really need to watch a few videos. Are disc brakes heavier than other types of brakes?
