What are the new choices for hydraulic disc brakes for CX?

Just an alternative mounting option I'd guess. I must admit to quite liking self-contained in one unit (caliper) idea rather than another box mounted on the stem.

Hmmm. Yeah. And you don't get wild cable angles like you do with stem boxes.

On the neg side I would have thought a longer length of cable means you lose more to stretch and outer compression than a stem box though.

I've seen on Evans cycles Website a cross bike with Tektro Hywire, shifters on drop bars and hydraulic disc brakes, (although the image shows Avid mech brakes). Only snag is they are only compatible with Di2. I think the bike was the Jamis Nova Pro £2770. So there are some on the horizon.

IIRC Tektro binned their hydro/Di2 shifter because of incompatibilities between UI and DI2.

Would like to be proved wrong on that one though.
