With all the down hill crashes due to grabing brakes on carbon rims is it time for discs? What would be the downsides?
Weight - if you can make the rims lighter and move the weight into the disc is that better
Aero dynamics - extra frontal area vs more freedom in rim design
UCI - they've allowed tham in cross why not on the road?
We might get hydraulic, drop bar levers out of it.
