bin über einen interessanten Bericht gestolpert in dem vom Autor grosse Probleme für Scheibenbremsen bei Rennrädern prophezeit werden, und dies dann sogar von Joel Richardson, product manager von Hayes, bestätigt wird.

About six years ago, we identified the road market as a very good application for disc brakes at a high level, Richardson says. We spent a good amount of R&D time and money to develop hydraulic and mechanical disc brakes for a major OEM manufacturer, one of the biggest. After a couple years of development, we hit major roadblocks. The biggest of which is packaging. The current mountain bike brake designs and mounting standards -six bolt rotors, flange offsets, 74mm direct post mount, etc.- just didnt work for road. All of these were done for a reason with mountain bikes and they work there. The road we went down was a new standard for mounting the brakes. We were working with a major player in the road bike market, but even with their substantial clout, we found that the required packaging of the product didnt mesh with what customers are likely to want (read: buy)
