Dammit in reply to @sohi

I think I am going to get flat bars for my next bike and let the industry sweat out the
cancer of cable operated discs on road bikes.

Even entry level trekking bikes now come with hydro discs but somehow some manufacturers
think it's ok to spend £2000+ on a road/cross bike with cable discs.>

R-685 for cable, R-785 for Di2, the problem is already solved.

I am not saying they are not available, I just don't see why I should pay
£2500+ for a complete bike to get them because it's nothing new.
They have been proven for decades on MTBs, hybrids etc.

Also these workaround solutions like HY/RD etc just delay the complete switch.
For me the hydraulic part is more important than discs.

hydr. disc > hydr. rim > obsolete crap

It's new for a road bicycle, but you don't need to pay that much for hydraulic, for example the Cannondale CAADX Rival hydraulic is £1400.
