Is not what I said. I said rim brakes suck. What I didn't say is "relative to discs." Rim brakes work, they just don't work as well.
And to the other poster telling the cool stories about disc brake equipped bikes requiring mid-ride maintenance (implying it's uniquely isolated to disc brakes)...use a little common sense. Every single part of a bike could require maintenance mid-ride, things break and go out of adjustment. This is not unique to disc brakes.
