And that encapsulates it in a nutshell. When you look at every major technology advancement that actually stuck in road cycling, it either solved a need or was a compelling "want." Right now, I can't see road discs fitting into either. Most people don't need discs from a function standpoint and they're not the kind of "sexy" thing that people will demand like a nice CF frame.
