You think it's cause people aren't making enough stink about it or do they really really really love disc brakes that much?
I'm not talking about performance, just by aesthetics and ease of care and cost. Rim brake/direct mount are so just so simple stupid cheap, and IMO look so much better on a sleek road bike.
Really want the new Cannondale Supersixx or the BMC Teammachine, but really don't want to switch to disc. I don't have any tools I don't think to properly maintain then, it would be a huge investment to switch over. Have to change wheels and everything, cause the stock wheels on the Cannondlae Supersixx if I don't want to spend 7K are horrible.
