The premise is that without the weight limit, pros would not use discs. Pre weight limit equipment choices show pros will do a lot to shave an ounce. So do you quibble with that premise?.
Second premise is that big part of the high end bike market wants to “be like Mike” or in this case Lance, or
thomas, etc.
if Pro cyclists were shunning discs, and telling the
ptess they are doing so because they are too heavy, do you think people would buy disc brakes bikes at the high end in the same quantity?
So, rather than being cracked, the argument is
both valid and sound, ie the
premises are true, and the conclusion flows
from the premises.
if you disagree, tell me which of the premises is wrong, or why the conclusion doesn’t follow form the premises.
