Hardly a retro-grouch story, but an interesting look at pro-cx folks sticking to discontinued models and canti-brakes.
I wonder if it comes down to simple preference? |

Maybe this isn't getting discussed because it isn't a very interesting story?
Euro pros can crush on cantis, we know this. They are, as a rule, so good at handling their bikes that they can consider things like the weight penalty of disc vs. canti. Cat 4 local racers are as a rule bad bike handlers and might get helped out by discs in ways that Euro pros don't need. Why is it surprising to people that the racers at the top of the sport and the untalented masses don't need the exact same equipment? |

More, I think that the manufacturers are not willing to continue to offer the option as there are those who would want to ride what the pros ride no matter what
