That seems a bit daft. I wonder if the rule change that now allows disc brakes in cyclocross will see any innovation around things like hub gearing in the next year or so. The Genesis bike above looks like a good bike for muddier cross races and should, in theory, increase drivetrain longevity. It'll be interesting to see if any pros switch to discs this coming season, and I assume some will at the behest of their sponsors who pushed for this change in the first place.
