[delusional]

Fair enough, I get it if you're doing 50 on a heavy bike (like an e-bike). I also agree that it provider easier activation, I've just never felt the need for that. Not in all of my years riding rim or coaster brakes have I ever felt it was too difficult to activate the brake. I've also only rarely (in my 20 years of bike riding) lubricated the wire. Most people get their bikes serviced, and they'll oil your wire too.

I think disc brakes are technophilia in almost all cases.
