mech discs can make a difference but high quality v-brakes are better for xc stuff. im a dirtjump/street/freeride guy and hydraulic are soo much nicer for what im doin'SomeGuy said:Worth the dollars? For sure!
Worth the extra pound of weight? Depends on what you do. In dry XC conditions, I don't think they are worth it. For mud or downhills though, they are a big bonus.
My next bike will come with some Hayes hydra disc brakes. I'm actually going to buy some good V brakes to use on it in summer - although this is partly because my nice wheelset is V-only :|.
Disks all the way baby they never let you down.And you carnt beat two finger braking on a long technical desent.BRScott said:You ride trails, at least once a week. You like climbing fast, jumping things, and you push yourself on downhills. Are disc brakes definately worth it?
