Disc brakes to appear in pro peloton this year
UCI & WFSGI announce test program in 2015 and 2016 seasons
by John Stevenson April 14, 2015
The UCI, has confirmed that hydrualic disc brakes will make their first appearance in the professional peloton this year under an experimental programme announced today by cycling governing body the UCI and the World Federation of Sporting Goods Industries (WFSGI) ahead of an anticipated full roll-out in 2017.
That schedule tallies with road.cc's exclusive report last month detailing discussions between the UCI and the WFSGI.
"The aim is to eventually introduce disc brakes to all levels of road cycling," the two organisations said in a joint statement.
The process will start during August and September of this year when all teams will be able to use bikes with disc brakes during two events.
Testing will continue in 2016 at all events on the UCI professional road calendar and, if the experience is satisfactory, disc brakes will be officially introduced to the UCI WorldTour in 2017.
UCI president Brian Cookson said: “Although disc brakes have been used for around a decade in mountain biking and for the last two years in cyclo-cross, their introduction to road cycling must be carefully studied in collaboration with all those who are directly concerned.
"That includes riders, teams and manufacturers. This step is part of the UCI’s desire to encourage innovation in order to ensure cycling is even more attractive for spectators, riders, bike users and broadcasters.”
WFSGI Secretary General Robbert de Kock said: “The industry is delighted by this news and also thanks the UCI for the very positive collaboration.
"This decision will further develop innovation and create new possibilities for the bicycle industry as well as additional performance for the riders.
"There is still some fine tuning to do on detailed requirements for the procedure, but it is very exciting to finally have reached this decision.
"The remaining open topics such as neutral race support or the UCI and Teams protocol will be tackled soon,”

我說沒關係真的沒關係 wrote:
碟煞要拆裝輪組方面是比較麻煩點~很容易磨到碟盤~因為卡鉗的間隙很小
另外雨天煞不住~公路車就算用碟煞也一樣煞不住的~原因不在夾器種類~而是輪胎太細
我自己倒覺得拆裝輪組沒有比較麻煩。
我用 Pro3/Pro4 700x23c 外胎，我遇到公路車雨天煞不住的原因是因為，
下雨框上會有細沙磨框和剎車皮(Swissstop GHP2)而剎不住，
而不是外胎抓不住，碟煞可以避免這種狀況。
至於剎車力，蟑螂鬚 105煞變把+TRP Spyre夾器+160mm 碟盤的剎車力
大約有 6600煞變把和C夾+鋁框+Swissstop GHP2 的九成到九成五。
如果換成 180mm 碟盤，剎車力就比 6600煞變把和C夾+鋁框+Swissstop GHP2 好。
如果是(混和式)油碟，剎車力應該會更好。
