Question of the Week

Today’s QoW comes to us from our own Coach David Ertl. It’s a timely question, as just 2 weeks ago the founder of Specialized predicted all road bikes will feature disc brakes within 2 years. (Methinks he’s trying to push product he’s invested in, but it’s certainly a trend.)

(We really need to replenish our stock of Questions! Please submit you own QoW ideas using the Question of the Week Ideas link.)

What are your plans for switching to disc brakes on your road bike?

    I made the leap when I replaced my 12 yr. old road bike w/ a 2015 Giant Defy Advanced Pro 1. In spite of the negligible weight penalty, the improved modulation and confidence in all conditions made it a natural choice.
