Came across this on Instagram, the new Slice.

Also sorry in advance for not knowing how to post an imbedded Instagram post

Looks nice. The evolution of a very good bike.

its a highly disappointing effort IMO.

can anyone explain to me why i would EVER want disc-brakes on a TT bike?

makes no sense to me. rim brakes on hed jet brake great and are more aero.

what i was hoping for in the next slice RS was a seatpost that doesn't slip and a bike that's easier to fly with.

I'll give them points for:
-long/low geometry (looks like it)
-intelligent front brake routing
-general good looks

I'll take points away for:
-near complete absence of storage or accommodation thereof
-not using the Revo base bar

Undecided:
-disc brakes (I would never use cable disc brakes though)

Agreed, I wouldn't use cable disc brakes either. That's a fail in my book.

Why not? Well set up cable-actuated discs actually work quite well, especially when used with rigid-link housings. The TRP Spyres also have equal pad movement, unlike Avid brakes.

If you're going to use discs, it's a completely valid option. Anyone who tells you that they can't be anywhere near is good as hydraulic models is either ignorant or blowing smoke.

I wasn't aware of that. All of the ones I've used/seen have had one stationary pad. The feel of those brakes is sub-optimal, IMO, compared to a fully hydraulic system. You have to adjust the caliper so the stationary pad is as close to the rotor as possible or it doesn't feel great. Having to keep that tight clearance makes it prone to rub if it comes slightly out of true.

I wasn't aware of that ether.

What would you want storage on a TT bike for ? they only carry a single water bottle. Apart from the disc brakes it looks like a UCI TT bike.

That describes every Cannondale-Drapac race result, ever. (including Garmin before that).

It is a UCI TT bike. Unless I'm seriously missing something here.

Edit...and for the storage question. It's not useful for UCI racing, but there are plenty of long TTs out there, up to 24-hour and beyond. And of course triathlon.

That didn't stop Trek from making a very fast TT bike that also had provisions for lots of storage.

I'm not quite sure how that relates to my Cannondale-Drapac team performance joke...

But, I, for one, am OK with Cannondale (and others) staking out a space for minimalist TT bikes without much in the way of internal compartments for storage or really complex proprietary brake setups.

Of course it still has to be fast, which we haven't seen yet. And, personally, I'd need a rim brake version. I might be OK with disc sometime in the future. But I'm not there yet.

Shimano doesn't make a hydraulic brake lever for TT bars. I don't know if anyone does.

No one does yet which is why you see the TRP brakes on the Andean, P5-X, and Cannondale.

I guess we'll go with "ignorance" then ;-) Here's a short summary of some options, although the Spyres are the only one with dual pad action:

BTW, on the Spyres, I don't bother with the separate pad adjusters...I just leave them both out all the way and use the cable adjuster alone for pad spacing (after centering the caliper, of course).
