Colnago resuscitates rim brakes with their latest C68!! Where the cycling industry is going?
This is so unexpected: Colnago came out with a top tier frameset offering their C68 with direct mount rim brakes. Even if this will end up being a niche expensive product, it is nonetheless such great news for the industry. Maybe some offering for the few rim brake lovers will still be introduced to keep the relevant components alive and available.

Campy has one, Shimano has 2, Sram has 1, Chinese have few coming, i promise you there are more rim brake electronic groupsets then Colnago C68 Rim frame sold . All the rim brake frame lovers are happy with the release but complain about the groupsets like they don't exist. Even if you have to mix and match a set, what does it matter? This is getting silly, the manufactures gave you everything you asked for in 2024 but not good enough . Pinarello Dogma Rim is gorgeous and they managed to have that bike available for years but this Colnago can not?

  • @swites
    @swites День назад

    Great a few manufacturers are doing modern rim brake frames. However for traditionalists like me, being e-groupsets only is a bit annoying. If you get a new frame, even if rim brake compatible it is electronic only so your older mechanical groupset won't fit. Then of course they stop making mechanical shifters/ groupsets because its so much easier and cheaper to make electronic ones with much fewer moving parts, and full of more plastic, rather than metal. I just hate how everything is electronic and needs an app to do anything with these days!

    Rim brake is dead folks even if you dont want to. The rim brake defense force was relevant few years ago when groupset wasnt on point, but now its just over, move on. Disc is far superior and you can run larger tire which is a massive benefit.

The next bike no doubt will be disc but only as it’s difficult to find a quality rim brake offering which is a real shame for those that want the choice.
