I still ride my rim brakes RB, do you?

Wheels of Happiness

I still ride my rim brakes  RB:   A VV S works and F10 Dogma.  One has Chris Froome symbol of hippo.   I still think rim brakes are great.  Anyway, somebody said (Merck) that to win you have to move forward, not brakek/stop.

The only reason why they are promoting disc brakes is for more peoeple to:

     1.  Buy new frame
     2.  Buy new more expensive Hydro GS,
     3.  Buy new rims with disc.  

I have disc brake powered MTB.   with narrow 29 tires.

Overhauling, mechanical (cable) disc brake.

The mechanical disc brake of a kapadyak failed yesterday and I was unable to repair this real quick.  I suspect:   1.  thin brake pad;   2.  loose adjustment of the fixed side;   3.  failed piston   

Hence I need to study this overhaul, so that may be able to find the defect and fix it.  

Just because my bike has hydraulic brake it does not mean I would not know anything about the mechanical disc brake.
