Not sure that I like the idea of a hole through my stem, particularly
not for Paris-Roubaix!

Why would they do that? Sacrifice stem integrity so you can use canti
brakes? Doesn't seem like a wise trade-off to me. In Paris-Roubaix,
the only thing you need good brakes for is to avoid crashes from
people who's stems broke off on the pave!

Seems like it might be a better call on a muddy Roubaix, it was very
dry this year, seems extra strange.

Surely someone still makes an old skool stem with a properly
integrated hole?
