I doubt it will be their primary bike though. More like the extreme weather bike... I don't think the top pros on real Euro courses use their brakes a whole lot anyway!<br /><br />I read a quote from Jeremy Powers saying something along the lines of "50 year old brakes are dead!" and Tim Johnson said something like "I can't wait to see all the crashes when people suddenly realize they have real functioning brakes on their bikes now!"<br /><br />I would like discs. And 135mm rear wheel spacing for interchangeability with my MTB wheels. Being a non-Pro I think this option was always legal to me just not readily available. This might help change that.<br /><br />Then again, I just "upgraded" to V-brakes in an effort to stop brake chatter. I find it bad enough to ruin my commute to work let alone a 'cross race!
