The ban on disc brakes has now been lifted for cyclocross racing, so next year there should be a broad release of new cyclocross bikes with discs installed.
As much as I love my Masi, I may have to do some upgrading next year. Disc brakes just can't be beat. And a cyclocross bike with disc brakes? That's about the ultimate do-it-all urban assassin. |
I have heard there are issues though with carbon forks, and disk brakes though. Something along the lines of cracking/weakening issues due to the lack flex. One of the guys at Ridleys was trying to explain it to me when I asked about it.
