Wouldn't the result be the same disc riders mixed with rim riders if all the claims are correct ?
no, not safe at all to have the peloton bunch up in a corner in order to stretch it out again. who in their right minds think it's a good idea to brake hard in a peloton? the guys behind you would have to brake harder due to accordion effect, and the same with guys behind them. it's dumb and dangerous
disc brakes have better stopping power, but they also have better modulation. as mentioned, rim brakes have less modulation, hence the reason why I think people perceive them to be easy to lock up. I don't think it will contribute to the problem. I think disc brakes will help.
