Cable operated hydraulic disc brakes

[Artstu]

I'd heard about these before. Perhaps a perfect solution for e-bike on cable disc brakes as standard.

That's on a nice steel framed Raleigh bike http://road.cc/content/news/129257-more-2015-disc-road-bikes-raleigh-stevens-time-alchemy-colnago-pinarello-parlee

Interesting, and good spot. Another option is something like this which essentially is a brake master cylinder but cable operated, so you can use it with standard STI levers and the like. Would be a means of converting a hydraulic braked bike to use drop handlebars and levers.

Sorry - I should have been a bit less subtle!

I wonder if Froomey would fall off less often if he had discs.

Like these as well there Shimano and cost £150.00 on eBay so not cheap.
I converted my front brake to hidraulic and what a difference it makes and kept the standard rear cable disc with the cut out sensor on the brake lever and works out fine.
