Details zu Scheibenbremsen: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

*    Disc brakes can interfere with baggage racks and fender stays.

*    A disc brake can prevent a quick wheel change, as needed by racers. (See Bruce Ingle's comments, below.)

*    Disk brake interference with bike rack, photo by Hal ChamberlinThe rotor is vulnerable and easily bent. Other hub brakes do not have this weakness. As the photo at the right shows, caution is needed with bike racks.

*    Hub flange spacing is often reduced, resulting in a weaker wheel. Wider overlocknut distance can resolve this problem, at the expense of incompatibility and proliferation of standards.

I certainly can't see disc brakes for pro racing, since they would prevent the 8-second wheel change -- inserting the disc into the narrow slot in the caliper requires some finesse, so you can't just slap it into place.
