My only road bikes still have rim brakes (though my MTB has discs). I love my road bikes and don't see a need to upgrade, but... I live in hilly but (usually) bone dry SoCal. With the recent wet weather I took the road bike out in the rain for the first time in a very long time and found myself heading for a stop sign and cross traffic at the end of a steep descent. YOWZA, that was exciting. Maybe discs on my next build wouldn't be such a bad idea.
