The question is,
"If there was a hydraulic road disc brake that was similar in ease of set up and price to mountain hydraulic systems, that INTEGRATED with campy and/or shimano and/or sram, would you be interested in using them, and do you think other people would? And why?"
Misleading thread title. Disks are a must have for my next bike, but I'd rather they WEREN'T hydro. BB7's have all the power than anyone can use. I can see why hydros might be an edge on a high end racing MTB, where braking effort will be repeated, profound, and complicated by the need to hang on for dear life at the same time, but it's just a maintenance nuisance on the road.
Talking of disc brakes, can you USians get your hands on the Cotic Roadrat? It's probably the best designed frame I've seen to uses discs on the road.
