Discs on the road. The Insider has his say
QUOTE:
Who could have imagined that we would ever be talking about improving braking on a road bike. Why bother? Last time I checked going slowly wasn't the aim of the game. But it is coming, without doubt. Disc brakes on the road will be the buzz groupset development of Eurobike 2012 aka 2013 for the market. Fact. You don't need to look very deeply into the comments section of articles on the matter to realise this is dividing opinion and it will continue to do so. I am all for discussion but my problem with most of the negative comments is that they seem misguided or misinformed to me. Allow me to set the record straight. Discs for the road is not just a sly way to make you buy more bikes and bicycle engineers have not run out of scope to improve the performance of framesets. We are just scraping the surface with carbon technology for the bicycle in so many ways. Stagnation on that front will not be reached for a while yet, but I can explain that another time. Here is my take on discs. http://road.cc/content/blog/50067-di...er-has-his-say -- Simon Mason |
