  1. I was just perusing the faq again and ...

    3.11 - Should I get disc brakes?
    Disc brakes are great. In terms of stopping power, they just blow
    everything else away.

    Might you want to add something about how, below some nebulous price
    point, money spent on a bike with disc brakes is just going to ensure
    that costs were cut somewhere more vital on the bike?

    I'm no expert, but it seems like this is a "frequently asked question"
    around here ... "Should I get this $300 bike with full suspension and
    disc brakes?"

    Nah, go for the $3,000 hardtail with disc brakes.

    Why, you ask? Because I'm an expert at something, and when I figure it
    out.....

    It's about buying disc brakes, not bikes with discs. If in doubt,
    see section 1.1 🙂

    Make your own FAQ if you don't like his.
