Headshot Posted February 27, 2018 Share Does this mean i should sell my old "used only for the CTCT" road bike to upgrade or will I get along just fine. I'm worried I will be braking too soon and get taken out by late brakers on discs :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grease_Monkey Posted February 27, 2018 Share Does this mean i should sell my old "used only for the CTCT" road bike to upgrade or will I get along just fine. I'm worried I will be braking too soon and get taken out by late brakers on discs :-)Yes, sell your old bike. If it doesn't have disc brakes it's even more worthless than a 26er. I doubt you will even be able to finish a race on outdated rim brakes. In all seriousness - I think it's great news Edited February 27, 2018 by Grease_Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase619 Posted February 27, 2018 Share So rock up to the races with hairy legs and get as free shave during the race I thought they only decapitated people, and cut holes in shoes??? Edited February 27, 2018 by Jase619 Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted February 27, 2018 Share But they cut like razorblades?I've never understood the logic in that argument. You have so many sharp cogs, cables and a chain that will catch any finger or the teeth that will puncture a piece of flesh, but I have not heard a serious outcry in favour of enclosed power trains. The massive chainring with teeth have caused me much more damage over my lifetime than any disc brake ever will. Glad sanity has prevailed.
