Will be interesting technology to watch.
I reckon they can do it, but not for the price they are suggesting. Longevity will be interesting as well.

I remember forum members strongly disagreeing with me because I was concerned about some new bikes being specified with a 140 disc on the front. They probably thought I was stoopid tooMichaelB wrote:And people think I'm stoopid for running a 180mm front disc.

cooperplace wrote:Hi Michael,
I'm running a 185 and if a 200 (or 203?) would fit, I'd use it right away. The braking with the 185 is IMHO just OK, and this morning I rode my wife's bike with Ultegra front calipers, and my first impression was how weak the brakes felt.
Getting the cable-operated BB7 to clear the disc and still have minimal free-play in the lever is an ongoing problem. like you I'm looking forward to a combo gear shifter/hydraulic brake lever.
cheers
Peter

The HY/RD is interesting, but fail to see how that is better than the Parabox from the same company.
