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. |
Thanks for the replies everyone. I went into Bow Cycle last weekend and ended up buying a 2011 Kona Jake. They actually had a 2012 Norco CCX that had disc brakes, but I couldn't quite justify the increase in cost.
The cantilever brakes are definitely a bit weak, but so far it hasn't been an issue and I'm super happy with the bike. Thanks again for the advice everyone!
