Why discs?
Heavier and more of a pain to maintain, i have a hybrid i bought it in 2007, it came with discs, and i switched to V's in 2008 the difference is minimal, i had a couple of years off the bike due to injury and people will tell you about the superior benefits of discs but personally i just don't see it.
I've just switched to road brakes(calipers) recently as my off roading love has gone and it's less faffing around when i take my wheels off.
love these |

There's no way a traditional brake caliper will stop you as quickly as a hydraulic disc brake. Especially off road once your rims get caked in mud , grit and wet. Plus you have more working parts to get worn within the caliper itself.
Plus discs brakes allow 1/2 finger braking . Something you wouldn't be able to do efficiently with brake calipers .
Your also using a 105 road caliper. That wouldn't last long . There's a reason why off road calipers are different to road ones. Though if your only on roads now I can understand why you would use it to an extent.

| Quote getdownmonkeyman="getdownmonkeyman"Picked up my Core 26.3 yesterday. Any good places to ride, where you don't have to queue? ie; not Delamnere'"
Llandegla is a great place, if you dont mind the drive then try Whinlatter - Superb place.
Good rides can be had a Rivington as well, let me know and we can meet up on a sunday morning sometime. |

I'm doing a charity ride, so if anyone's kind enough to donate a little, the details are below, thanks:
https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundra ... onationFor FundraiserDisplay.action?fundraiserActivityId=221725
I've organised it through work, where I chose a local charity 'When You Wish Upon A Star' to raise monies for.
They provide terminally ill children with a special day out to remember for them and their family, from visiting Lapland at Christmas to Skydiving from a plane.
They have a really good website if you fancy a look.
If anyone's kind enough to donate, my name's Jonny Hindley on the donation link.
Cheers |

Heading up to Rivington on sunday morning for a 9am ride off if anybody is interested.
Taking in the following (If people recognise the names) Pike Slabs, Belmont Descent, Dog Kennels, "Japanese" Gardens, then over to Healy Nab for some extra milage (Probably not do Healy though as its a bit poo).
All in all between 18-20 miles.
