wnyrider-

I noticed they really gripped quickly - but no accidents or close calls because I was really paying attention to not stop too abruptly.

The big aha moment came when I got back onto the Surly to go for groceries and got to the first stop sign and thought to myself, the brakes aren't working!

So yes, I adjusted to them right away and don't think about it, but when I went back to the other bike I immediately felt the difference. I would have been happy with rim brakes but now I really appreciate the discs.
