Magura cyclocross brakes

[Rio]

Hi Ben,
I'm not a CX rider or owner, so no practical experience here. But I love to watch CX on TV, and I think with all the mud and snow they ride through, disc brakes will make sence!

Disc drakes are forbidden in official cx brakes... I ignore the reason...

Moreover, I don't like them......

They sit nicely on moustache bars too...

And, thanx Ben.. I'm putting a lot of love into my little vintage rig....

I'm actually betting that Hope Tec beat both the big S's to the post ! Or just as good, Campag Super-Record/CX with hydraulic disks !

Believe it or not Hope did this a very good number of years ago by creating a cable converter that allowed the use of drop bar brifters with hydraulic discs. Sadly very rare.

or if you have plenty of time on your hands you could make on of these... a veloce 10 speed HS33 hybrid lever (rear)...shown here without hood. Stuck together with that metal puttystuff, sanded n sprayed black.

In 2000 Raleigh Special Products produced a limited number of Randonneur touring bikes with these Magura brakes.
