What are the differences between linear pull and disc brakes in terms of performance and functionality?

Linear pull brakes, also known as V-brakes, are typically lighter and less expensive than disc brakes. They are easier to adjust and maintain, but they may not provide as much stopping power or modulation as disc brakes. Disc brakes, on the other hand, offer better performance in wet and muddy conditions, provide more consistent braking power, and are less affected by rim wear. They are generally more expensive and require more maintenance, but they offer superior stopping power and control.
