Hi,

I'm buying a mountain bike mostly for bush tracks and walking tracks but also some road. The guy at the bike shop suggested that I don't need to pay extra for Disc brakes and that Linear brakes will be adequete for this type of riding. He said unless You pay for a bike $1000 + and get hydraulic disc brakes there is very little difference in performance, and this would only really be necessary if I was doing serious off-track riding.

What are your opinions and suggestions?
