My tri bike was stolen a few weeks ago out of my storage locker. Not the end of the world as it was an older bike but terrible nonetheless. I'm looking at buying a road bike (perhaps cervelo s2) since now that i have two young kids i'm more interested in doing olympic and sprints rather than 70.3 etc, plus i want to do some group rides.
The thieves left my disc wheel that was sitting close to the bike. It got me thinking, why do I never see discs on road bikes? Do they not fit? Do they not work properly with the road frame set-up? Or is it just because if you're doing a crit race you will be draftign and if you are doing a non-draft race (i.e. time trial) you will be on a time trial bike? What is the difference then with having a disc wheel vs. deep dish wheels?
