No more like the new CF that in time will be just another fad. Maybe.
I prefer rim brakes though I can see the appeal in the MTB/ATB world. Road, uh, no.
But, everyone can do as they wish and will, matter not to me as long as I can buy rim brake bicycles. You know, LPs disappeared over night and the new CD took over. Now, people are buying LPs again. Some things can be improved, some cannot.
It is my opinion, they are ugly, heavy, complicated and in most uses offer no advantage sufficient to outweigh the negatives not to mention they do outweigh rim brakes. I guess if I strap a JATO bottle to my axx and launch myself down a mountain incline I might want for something more than a rim brake that can already exceed the g load needed to endo a bike.
