My opinion was formed on the following timeline:
1. Wanting disc brakes.
2. Buying a disc brake bicycle that, by mere coincidence, happened to be thru-axle.
3. Seeing that people are having disappointing results with QR-disc brakes.
4. Reading about how disc brakes are strong enough to overpower QR-skewers.
5. Feeling relieved that my bicycle was designed with thru-axles.
6. Being annoyed that manufacturers are using the advantages of disc brakes to sell bicycles that turn out to be disappointing. I could've easily fallen victim to that.
