    deffo  go no disc, there’s absolutely zero need to go disc in any weather conditions and calipers are ridiculously easy to maintain and replace pads. If you’re one to ride in constant wet/mud for 10,000+ miles a year, live in a hilly area and use carbon rims then discs might be a consideration based on cost of wearing themout, otherwise you absolutely don’t need them.

    Aethetically it’s a no brainer to go caliper brake.
