If I was having those issues with my brakes, I might be less than thrilled with them, too. Neither of my Shimano disc brake bikes have had those issues. Some of your issues sound like...

I understand the logic of your statement, but in real world application, I'm not sure how accurate it is. Just because disc brakes bite quicker, and take less lever force/travel to get to lockup...

My #1 road bike has Campy Record rim brakes. The lever feel and contact point are pretty different than the Ultegra hydro discs on my gravel bike. My SS MTB has Avid v-brakes. Compared to the XTR...

I didn’t say he’s wrong. I said my own experience has been different. Is it in the equipment, or in the user? I don’t know, and I’m curious why that would be.

The ridiculous part is that 50PlusCycling's comment had zero effect on smd4's opinion about disc brakes. He made up his mind about them long ago, and has made it clear that his opinion is unwavering.
