I'd love to ride on a trail like that Thorekz!

I've got a Gary Fisher Wahoo-Disc. Love them disc brakes.

looks great Forgee, i wanna change to disc brakes too, thinking of shimano XTR breaks...expensive but very useful lol

Those XTR's look awesome. Mine are non-hydraulic (aka mechanical :p) but I don't feel any lack of braking power.
But, if something's worth doing, it's worth doing well. :)

For me, an important advantage of the discs is when it's wet and you get water and mud on the rims. While rim mounted brakes loose braking power, the discs stay relatively clean and I don't sense a loss of power in the same manner.

For me its an advantage on really long descents (over 1 hour) v-brakes get so hot that stop working good so ive been adviced to take hidraulics on consideration
