sram and shimano on future of road discs.

From Cycling tips...shimano on road disc's future(yes they are a-coming) and sram..why I don't like sram..IMHO-big IMHO..

http://cyclingtips.com/2013/10/disc-...he-future-hold

arrogance with a capital 'A'..

sram-
"People who criticize disc brakes have not ridden them. For those people who want to stand by ‘tradition’, I say that there’s lots of things that are ‘traditional’ in road cycling. Taking drugs is ‘tradition’, but you know what? That has to change as well."

shimano-
"Shimano doesn’t see this as just a fad and I think that there’s a spot in the market for a completely different category of bikes using disc brakes. [But] I can’t see caliper brakes vanishing and becoming obsolete."

out-take it leave it...just irks me.
