I agree, keep the discs on the muddy 'cross tracks. You don't need crazy stopping power on the road unless you're riding like an idiot.
Ya! We can't even get Bukkake to put brakes on his bike, and you pussies want Hydraulic brakes on your Road Bikes…
yeesh! :fruit:

Yeah cus that would be easy to fix on the side of the road! Do we really need hydraulic brakes? I can't think of one time my road brakes weren't enough, never mind the amazing mechanical disc's out there.
Hydraulic is lighter than mechanical and when was the last time you had a hydraulic failure in your car, motorcycle or bike? Actually mine was two weeks ago when a banjo bolt undid. But then buddy went off the road in the Tour de Suisse when his front brake cable broke last week. And Ulrich went off the road on a corner when his carbon rims failed to provide good braking. And then disc road rims would only have to support the tire so can be significantly lighter and different.
Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.
yeah 'fart , i'm looking forward to seeing some manufacturers do some dedicated R /D on road specific discs

Magura is probably the closest. I say this as in the early 90's they had a hydraulic rim brake offering for road bikes.
