Appreciation post: That shop in Portland that changed my mind on disc brakes
I went into this little shop called BikeTown PDX last month just to grab a tube, and totally walked out with a new perspective. The mechanic there, Mike, had me try a customer's bike with mechanical discs and showed me how to adjust them without any special tools. I've always been a rim brake guy because I thought discs were too fancy and annoying to mess with, but watching him pull off a perfect stop with a cheap cable setup kind of blew my mind. Anyone else had a shop talk you into something you swore you'd never ride?
