My Next Bike
I always said that my next bike would have disc brakes. When I am going down a mountain road approaching 60 MPH and I am on an outside turn and I drop my inside leg out to gently lean my bike into the turn, I want to have the confidence that as I tap by brakes to limit my speed that I will not be heating up my rim. When a cycling tire gets over heated from the heat transferred from the brake pad contacting with the rim it can cause a tire failure and that is not pretty. I have always wanted to ride the Death Ride in the county of Alpine California. I knew my old Serotta was not up to this ride, but my next bike will be purchased with this event as a goal. I will not make it to the ride this year, but I will train for it in 2015. Here is my short list so far. Endurance bike frames Trek Domane 6.9 not shown with disc brakes.
