Not Avids - and can bleed brakes thanks.
Just not a fan of needless complexity or solutions that didn't have a problem to solve (for me).
I'm glad you're happy with your discs, but there's no need to be so defensive about them.

Oldgit - what did LVRC say about discs in the peloton? Obviously they're not constrained by UCI rules. Be interested to hear what they had to say.

I had no luck whatsoever trying to race on a disc-braked road bike. Even though races don't have to stick to UCI rules, they seem to just follow them anyway.
I had to buy replace my bike with a rim braked one, which is annoying because i use it to commute too (only got room for 2 bikes!).
crazy-legs. Only got a response at local level. There's no definite answer. Its of the opinion that as long as its only local races, is not a series or National championship it should be okay. As that fits my criteria I should be okay. Basically no ones ever asked.
The shop is getting it as a sale/demo so I can check it out further.

I disagree, road bike brakes seem to need a tweek every so often as cable stretches, pads wear, etc, especialy for some reason my back one which seems to drift round untill one pad rubs.
My disks on the other hand take longer to fix, but even my elixirs haven't been touched in a year (at all, no adjustments, pads, nothing).

I can see why, some UCI rules are there for good reason, even if they're not imediately obvious. Like mudguards, seem like a great idea on a wet day, untill someones jam and cause everyone to crash. If they allow one concession (disk brakes) the next week someone will want mdguards, then someone will turn up on a TT, bike, then a Tri bike, then a recumbant. Easier just to stick with what the UCI defines as 'a bike'.
