My Boardman Comp hybrid has disc brakes. I don't quite understand why. My thinking being that the considered opinion seems to be that they are better at stopping than caliper brakes yet are heavier. Most racing/road bike have caliper brakes and I assume tend to be faster like for like than my bike. So if calipers are good enough for bikes built for speed then why were they put on my hybrid (which has road wheels/tyres)? Surely calipers would be fine and weigh less.
