SwissVan Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Actually I can live with the idea of the thru axle, but discs....sies plffttt....
b-rad Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Wonder what sort of damage those discs will cause in a crash particularly one with lots of riders going down...

b-rad Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 The tar is the big concern Along with some deep cuts and if you lucky some disc brake burns.
CAAD4 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Is that Andy Schleck on a BMC?? No it's a Shimono...
Helpmytrap Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Along with some deep cuts and if you lucky some disc brake burns.If they fall on an open stretch of road the rotor wouldn't be hot. It would only be an issue on a descent or when passing through towns where there are lots of corners. The rest of the time there will be enough wind to cool them down as that is how they are designed, dissipating heat efficiently in order to maximise brake performance. So in my eyes it isn't an issue. I'd rather be burnt by a sterile object than skid across tar or be stabbed by sharp greasy chain rings.
Patchelicious Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 be stabbed by sharp greasy chain rings. I usually pay extra for that!
