This is pretty schweet too

Dura Ace hydraulic discs? Bitchin. And I could give two shits about CX, I'm excited because we're one year closer to having discs on road bikes.

I realize road discs pose a whole host of design and commercialization problems that make it a tough sell to companies, racers, shops, consumers, and literally everyone else involved in the supply or demand of road bikes. I don't care, the current state of road brakes is criminal and there is a better way to do things. As it is, descending on a pair of road bike caliper brakes makes Arnold's K-5 run in in Commando look manageable.





Damn you, Bennett.
