A lot of things like discs that have been around for years are still not "settled". Probably won't ever be as long as people don't realize that in everyday riding with no particular goal that it just doesn't matter. They both stop you when you want to stop. So it's a personal preference thing. Even in the professional world, it might be a tactical thing looking a the particular course and rider and deciding what has more pros and cons for that days ride. Don't know, I'm only a spectator.

You sure it's a full pound still? It's been a while, but off the top of my head, some time ago I added up the difference in weights for rim and disc in the DuraAce line. I'm thinking I only came up with 5 ounces difference between the two for both front and rear combined. Now if you are comparing disk to rim that are not in the same tier group, then yeah, maybe as much as a pound difference. But I might be wrong. Just like you want me to go back and research your views, you can do the research to prove me wrong.

Yeah wheel changes are probably quicker for rim with QR's and rim makes for less chance of issues grabbing a wheel from a neutral support vehicle in races supported by them. However in the last few tours, how many times has anything been grabbed from a neutral support vehicle, wheel or bike?
