[QUOTE=Seattle Forrest;20896073]I wonder if there was as much resistance when they put seatbelts into cars?[/QUOTEY
You hit the nail on the head with this one. I recently bought a new bike and got discs. My logic was that I'd feel very stupid if I ever had an accident that I thought could have been avoided if I'd gotten discs. In certain situations I truly fell they are safer - at least with me. Maybe not so for a pro??? Also, I ride the mountains a good bit and I descend faster with them. Again, maybe a pro wouldn't benefit but I'm talking about me. I certainly brake deeper and harder with the discs.
