"For those interested ...

1) Since the riding position of the ""bent"" puts the weight on the butt -- rather than distributing it to the legs and hands -- it may be my recovery vehicle of choice while my left hand heals.

2) The current rear V-brake set up with it's long housing is a pretty heavy squeeze. A disc should be a lighter throw.

3) I already have two sets of compatible disc wheels from my MTB.

4) Discs give you stopping power in the wet and wont overheat your tires on long descents."
