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. Disc related article from Bike Radar http://www.bikeradar.com/us/road/gea...it-video-44489

also from Sram rep:
Quote:
that said, I totally agree that it's an a-hole viewpoint. and I find it hilarious that a company that owns the biggest wheel name in the biz will say that braking power simply isn't good enough and that it's a safety issue. so...why'd you sell the wheels then? and you're admitting you sold hazardous stuff? interesting...

Been spending a lot of time off of discs and on calipers again and its reenforcing to me that, yes, I think hydro disc brakes feel and brake better and more predictably blah blah blah, but my dura ace caliper brakes really do provide all the stopping power I need in 99.9999999999% of the situations.
It's that .0000000001 I worry about. In any event, for Shimano's "we don't expect them to go away" bit...two words...v-brakes, mountain bikes.

Oh no the old man is at it again
 . Let’s see how many pages will we have this time for this thread? Regardless of what pros will use, manufacturers are flooding the market with both low and high end road bikes with disc brakes. I was kind of coaching a couple of new riders for our club and was surprised to see their newly bought lower end road bikes with disc brakes. I think it is irreverent what pros will use for the adaptation of disc brakes on road bikes for the mass market.

It has been at least a few days since we've heard that SRAM is terrible stuff, no?

i got way too far into this thread before i realized nobody was talking about these.
then i thought maybe the issue was integrating disc rotors onto disc wheels. then i was wrong again.
