I did have 25c and deep wheels on it for a club race at a time when I didn't have a road bike. It worked well, but that's about it. But I've many, many road miles on it with 35c and 38c. If I was to have only one bike it would probably be this one.

Stopping power is good – but of course nowhere near a good hydro disc setup. Now that you got flat mount, nice hydro hoods (at least with Dura-Ace) and the ability to run carbon wheels without the hassle of rim-braking, I'd probably go disc if I had enough money to splash. But I do love the #cantilyf
