Decent Mechanical Disc

[Irulan]

DH has been throwing out the idea of upgrading my bike to mechanical (do I have the right term) disc brakes. I have V-brakes but he claims I do not know confidence until I go disc. My fork and wheels can accomodate them so he said we could do mechanical (I guess they can't take hydraulic, I don't understand these things). Are there some good ones to consider?

Yawn, guy talk.

I rode without discs for YEARS doing all sorts of trails all over the PNW. Unless you are downhilling or riding in the wet - sure discs are nice to have but can be an expensive upgrade. Maybe a different way to look at it is, is this the best bang for your upgrade buck?

just my ornery two cents as usual.
