Hayes made cable actuated hydraulic discs back in the day, but i think they ended up being worse than just cable discs and nowhere near as good as hydraulic. Because the problem with the cable discs unless serviced frequently was the cables dragging, coupling this with a hydraulic system at the other end didn't bode well. all the disadvantages of cables, plus none of the advantages of hydraulics, plus brakes locking up.

could poss work better on the road where it aint as mucky but doubt it.

anyway, do we really need hydraulic brakes on the road? I find stopping easy enough...

Yeh, admittedly I think the brake on my bike is great, shit tektro caliper with aztec pads. although on a tour across the highlands last year I went through a set of pads in 4 days and i've worn past the line on a rim in a year and a bit. If you've tried magura's, they are impressive. Even cable discs are good now. The small contact patch road tyres have is a factor in just how powerful road brakes can be - especially in the wet.

That 3rensho's a treat
