Not entirely fair. While the cheese-tastic discs one sees adorning
gaspipe in Tesco and Toys R Us are almost certainly considerably less
use than properly adjuested Vs, cantis or DPs, there are worthwhile
mechanical discs out there. Wouldn't buy them myself, as it strikes me
that if you're going to town you might as well do the job /really/ well
and get hydraulics, but you can get examples that are decently
engineered and stop the bike properly.
