I love my juicy discs, but like you already commented I also like having and being able to use my wheels on all my rides, and you and yours at the Velo Shop set up my brakes awesome! No chatter No shutter Well said!

You know, I could really see not wanting any changes made to the bikes if it were to change the "sport" in any real way or hurt it for any reason. Being a "purist" in that case would seem totally justifiable. I definitely see your point on mechanical discs. I certainly wouldn't want to use them. But, like you mentioned, (knowing it's not the stated or intended purpose) I think in a few years, when hydraulics are developed, they will be great for winter(road)training. Great stopping power in the rain and less wear on the rims. With that said, I am not a fan of first gen tech anyway. There is no doubt I will still be rocking the canities for some time to come. I really like the idea of seeing a new set of components develop though. It's the tech geek in me so that's where my real interest in this story lies. Thanks for the clarification.
