Love disc brakes. At home, not so much of a big deal because 1) it almost never rains here and 2) the descents I ride most of the time are fairly non-technical. But after racing Norseman in the rain with it's really fast and technical (by triathlon standards) descents, I'm totally sold on disc-brakes.

I was coming from NSW rims with hydraulic (magura) rim brakes, so the change was less noticeable than it might be for some. But disc brakes still represent a huge upgrade. Especially in the rain. And just ease of adjustment, travel, etc is awesome. They just work. And are easy to work on.

I was actually surprised that no one picked up that I was riding a prototype set of these wheels in one of the pics I posted:
