Mmm, liking the looks of those calipers. Got to be better than the Lyra ones.

A cheep way to go disc on a road bike without needing to loose the Shimano shifters :O)

Its interesting. I do think that they will be a transitional system though, as they will still have some of the drawbacks of cable brakes like sticky cables. But they will serve a purpose until the big brands design roadie levers for hydraulic brakes and more roadies accept hydraulic brakes. Ultimately, regular hydraulic discs will become the norm but it will take time.
