<p>Like this one I raced this season. Definitely not lightweight, but I think we will see a comparable to cantis light disc set up for the CX crowd in the coming years.</p>

<p>I'm not sure I'd want to negate the weight benefits of singlespeed by adding disc brakes... Plus, the whole aesthetic of a singlespeed bike is steeped in simplicity. Disc brakes are less simple than cantis or V-brakes for lots of reasons.</p>
<p>I certainly don't plan on making the switch myself.</p>
