Ok ok ok, I will relent! Or rather, caveat or qualify my disc brake comment to road bikes (and anything close). MTBs look sick with discs, and have for a long time. And CX/gravel stuff looks just fine with them as well, largely because they were made from the outset to be that way (IMO). Road bikes being as svelte and light as they have been for so long--the discs encroach on that lithe, all-about-the-ride-quality nature. Again, IMO.

I like the totally unbelievable claim of power increase, like in all "new and revolutionary" bike "improvements". At least the Magistroni 90º crankarms were simpler and lighter.

Also, agree. It looks like a monumentally complicated way of getting around HTFU (as it were).
