New wind direction for braking? Will disc brakes or rim brakes dominate the 2020 Tour de France?

Image
  Since the introduction of the first disc brake road bike, fierce debate has been around and this year's Tour de France is no exception. Here we will give a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the advantages of disc brake roads in terms of braking ability, adjustment, etc., as well as the rim brake system that has sufficient advantages in terms of lightweight, easy to use, and adjustable at any time. Nevertheless, we also foresee that the two sides will not completely agree with the other's views. Given that the Tour de France, the biggest event of the season, has just ended, we might as well take a look at whether the "Death Razor" disc brake road or the "Rain Brake Road" rim brake road won more stages. The vast majority of brands that sponsor World Tour teams are or have eliminated rim brake roads. However, there are still some riders who are holding on to the rim brake road, and even some frames have been discontinued but are still favored by prof...

According to different models, road wheels are divided into these categories

  According to the model, the wheels of road bikes are mainly divided into three categories: road bikes, time trial/triathlon and all-terrain road bike/CX road bike. Let's talk about the difference between the three types of wheels. Excluding the shape and structure of the wheel set, the width of the rim is also different due to the different tire widths used in the three models. Nowadays, road vehicles generally use 25-28c tires, so general wheel manufacturers will optimize the wheels for these two specifications. Due to weight control, aluminum alloy wheels are generally not too wide. Nowadays, the mainstream inner width is 17mm and the outer width is about 22mm; the disc brake aluminum alloy wheels will be slightly wider by about 2mm because there is no brake edge. Because carbon fiber wheels are lighter, manufacturers can use some radical designs, such as widening the rim to improve stability in crosswinds. Starting from HED, manufacturers have begun to widen their rims. Among ...
