No longer a newbie, moving up!
Well, I don't exactly take it easy.It seems that this guy doesn't need a disc brake at all. It's not that you are going to do some rough riding. V-brake will be fine. Disc brake invites thief too just because they look more expensive.
I have V brakes right now and they do lack. They're pretty strong, you can certainly feel yourself slowing down pretty fast... but not fast enough. And in the wet they don't work at all. Not until they clear the water and even then they're no-where near what I'd want. So disc brakes make sense.
Yup, I know. But I can't stay out of the seat all the time. And when you're flying along and find a big two foot deep dip in the track it still sends a shock through your body, seated or not.Breaking your back? How? Your butt shouldn't be on the seat in those situations!
