So the UCI lifted the ban of disc brakes for Cyclocross, which means there should be some cool things coming out in the next bit. Shimano put the pressure on the UCI, so they likely have some hydro-drop levers in the works and sram says they are working on something...... Its about damn time

read the whole story here......

I don't see why they were banned in the first place, all they do is slow you down.
