I got my first bike with hydraulic disc brakes this year. What a game changer. I've had mechanical discs for years, and yeah, they're most likely better in the wet than rim brakes, but in the dry a good rim brake setup is just as effective as a cable disc setup.

But hydraulic brakes are so confidence inspiring that I'm able to ride downhill much faster and have more fun than I have in years - I'm not young and I'm not that brave, but just knowing I can slow down quickly and safely makes the higher speeds so much easier - wet or dry.

(But I love the tee shirt. That's a good one.)
