Disc or rim brakes ?

[rideswithmoobs]

If you where buying a new steed would you opt for the more modern disc brake set up or stick to rim brakes ?

It depends on many variables.

If buying a commuter: discs. If buying a road bike: rim.

Let's say buying a road bike, not a CX or Gravel or tourer just a road bike.

I'm genuinely interested in this as I have mentioned in other threads I'm on the look out for a new bike and yet to decide on road or CX or Gravel if I choose not to try events. Also looking into events on road if I go road route and the rim/disc scenario is something I'm looking at so started a poll. Thanks to all who take time to reply
