If you guys click
here, you will notice that Volagi has an upgrade option on wheelsets under 1500 grams. Don't know if that is good or not, but their highest end build without the wheels option puts the bike at about 16.2 pounds without pedals, bottles and cages. To an avid cyclist, that is kind of heavy. I'm sure that once disc brakes become a standard on road bikes, wheel manufacturers will start looking into ways of making it more lighter and sturdier. Also, I'm sure brake manufacturers will do the same - lighter with better stopping power. And same goes with the fork issue. Again, people who have tested the Volagi are very happy with how it handles overall.
I think I read somewhere or heard from someone regarding last years Interbike when Volagi first introduced to the public the idea of disc brakes. Shimano reps were offended by the idea, yet here they are talking about their very own disc brakes on a road bike. Same goes with my friend who, just a couple of months ago, said that he will stop riding his road bike if this disc becomes a standard. Yesterday he called and I mentioned about Shimano's plans on disc brakes. Suddenly, the winds shifted and he said that despite the "ugliness", he welcomes it and thinks that a lot of the pros will be happy to see that day happen. No more blowouts on long descents due to overheating and more confidence going 60+ mph on a downhill. My jaws just dropped hearing that from him...
