I have to say that the current trend to gearing restrictions (moving away from 3x systems) would be my bigger concern for a true loaded touring bike, then the brake system is. I'll add that if my touring were to include 3rd and 4th world areas my hardgear would drift away from what's trendy in the 1st world market driven offerings. Andy
