Re:
"Chris Froome unhappy to be on disc brakes"
https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/chris-froome-unhappy-to-be-on-disc-brakes/
Something I don't care for is seeing limited choices in purchasing a new lightweight bike for climbing in mountains, that do not have disc brakes.
One example: Bianchi’s Specialissima, will only be available with disc attachment.
I've never needed disc brakes on road bike, however, I always need the bike to be light.
Disc's are a pain in the butt on mountain bike, however, there's better reason to use them with MTN bike.
Working on rim brakes is much easier / many more people need to take bike with disc's to a mechanic... -and then after the mechanic does His thing, they often are still problematic.
When pro racers are given a choice, I believe I understand majority want rim brakes.
One example for need is: For someone with poor finger strength, disc's may allow a rider to continue through the years.
