Disc brakes are dead

£45 spyres
£80 for Force shifters

Etap would make more sense on the bike that splits

One cannot just simply sum this thread up in "take-aways" it must be lived to truly understand.

Will take force when you’re selling please

sure! Collect monday?

£45 spyres

Let me bring my plans together but I may have these off you

alright! if I find a tape I'll measure the compressionless outers

Two regrets; getting a braze on (can't go sub compact 46/30).

Then should be fine for 48/32.

....assuming they're not flat mount?

they are soz :(

@edscoble yeah I think I am swaying that way .. I have Middleburn RO2 with 94 spider ..

You after spyres?

Possibly yes if they're affordable

Pm sent.

Haven’t seen this one yet?

They are totally dead

Yeesh, followed links, rough stuff. How has there not been some sort of cf disc guard brought about yet?

Because weight I imagine.

I still don't really understand how disc rotors can apparently do this when chainrings seem much more deadly and never cause any problems.

There's some real morons in the Twitter comments too

You have to get past the wheels before you get caught on a chainring. Discs are out front and sharper than a chainring and they get hot too...

All that being said disc brake injuries aren't terribly common in mountain biking...

Any bike can do harm if you are unlucky I guess.

Have you ever touched a chainring or disc rotor? But there is always the cassette which has 11 really sharp "discs" with anywhere from 11 to 32 blades on them.

11 speed cassettes are dead

Not enough danger. I'm going to sharpen my brake levers too.

This is barely a scratch. In all seriousness, how could UCI get on board with carbon components (mostly frames, forks, handlebars) if safety is so important?

Sorry what?
