With all the mountain bikes going to a 12 * 142mm system, with a little push from SRAM XX1, I imagine the 135mm disc brake jigs in Taiwan will drop in price significantly, allowing the much overdue road bike shift to 135mm. Have any of you guys seen the dish on the new 11 speed D-A wheels? Nightmarish.

While Shimano markets the "offset 4 bolt" pattern of their cranks as being optimised for power transfer etc etc, I just see a 7900 series crank with one arm removed to give the 4 "offset". I bet if you look carefully you can still see the marks from the grinder.
