Whatās wrong with disc brakes? 
When I was in Santa Cruz there a few weeks ago there was a road race on. They were going an unmerciful speed. Anyway this hero hits a bump and goes arse over tit, thankfully without killing himself ( I knew this because he was fāing and blinding). The noteworthy thing for me about the incident was that his bike literally broke in two. There was a cable going down the inside of the frame and that was all that was holding the two bits together.

I wouldnāt use them. I donāt understand how they work so I donāt trust them.
Better stopping power but as a result will encourage people to go faster than they probably should. OK for the average person.

The other thing is that if a person is used to traditional brakes, a switch to disc can be dangerous as if you jam on, the wheel stops dead.
The big advantage is that the rims if your high end wheels donāt wear out.
They have to be serviced though, and can be a right pain in the hole.
Itās the same principle as a Formula One car. Less stopping time = more speed. They are heavier as well so less useful going uphill.,
Watching a bit of that Scannal programme on Annie McCarrick.
How on earth did her Irish roommates let her off on her own up the Wicklow Mountains?
Youāve never had the bacon and cabbage up in Johnny Foxes then?
Perfectly understandable. Men/women didnāt have failed DJ Keith Walsh then. Iām sure she sold it as a trip to one of the highest/oldest pubs in Ireland.

Was her Father a policeman in America, who tried to do his own investigation?
Must be even worse for family when no body (assuming she was murder) is found to bury

He likes to be called Sir Alex. In fairness, given heās a rangers man, itās fair enough. Itās just a matter of good manners then.
Pulled you up on it, he did?
