specialized is REALLY pushing their tarmac disc right now. got offered an insane deal on one...totally crazy.

but....i just don't want it.

i know it is coming and eventually i will probably have to switch. not being a curmudgeon -- i just think there are many drawbacks that most people are not thinking about, and they're trade-offs i prefer not to make (until forced).

for me, road disc is a solution to a problem i don't have.

if i commuted by bike in seattle my position might be different.

and....i ride a hydraulic disc cross bike on the road sometimes + have discs on MTBs, so i'm no stranger to what they do well.
