@rydabent I don't hate 'em. But I do think they are overkill for many applications, adding complexity and cost.
Down hill racer with brake fade, sure.
I don't recall any caliper injuries, other than the odd tangle. Spoon brakes are overkill on these applications,
Actooly not bad. the fact discs have unfinished sharp edges is just not a good thing.
Any sharp edges on a stroller are not a real plus. Things that amputate fingers even less so.
Bike shops work on them, since most of the stroller shops closed.
And bike folks build things for their kids.
