I keep being told disc brakes don't make noise, it's just they weren't properly installed blah blah blah. But I keep seeing people tinkering with their disc brakes on the side of the road... So I dunno. /shrug
It’s always hard to speculate on other random people’s bike issues. Personal experience is far more reliable. If I had these issues with disc brakes I would go back to rim brakes. But I don’t.
