True story, I was a very early adopter of disc brakes and never looked back even though my first set were sh*t (Coda). It’s the one product where I can say I was on the bleeding edge (maybe also riding SS on the Shore?).
They were so f\*\*\*ing awful my local shop / Cannondale replaced them with gen-2 Coda brakes in short order and those were even worse pieces of sh\*t so then they replaced them with gen-1 Hayes (still running Coda 4-bolt rotors) which I had on bikes for years & years after.
I know the WC XC courses are much more technical now but the fact Alison Sydor was training on the Shore and winning on those Coda brakes deserves mad respect.
