Yea but.... they're going to make it from carbon fiber... so it'll be cool!
They're not the only ones trying it.

Kudos to them for capitalizing on people's irrational fears. Wish I had thought of that.
But I'll continue to ride with my spinning discs of death fully exposed.

This is clear verification of my view that we are in the middle of catastrophic human devolution. I'm thinking full-on chimpanzees in two generations.
I'm looking forward to the solution for the upcoming problem of bikes built with aero tubing with razor sharp trailing edges. Perhaps we should put our best engineering minds to work on it now.

My thought has been that if they think they need these the bikes should also have chain guards.

You're talking about the disc brakes themselves, Right??

Buying parts to hang on your bike is always easier than getting fit.

I'm kinda surprised that they haven't popped up in the MTB world before. Not that I would use one, but I have known folks who have had rocks (or careless bike loading habits) bend their rotors and the "rotor brand" on my left calf took years to fade.

These will become so popular dudes with rim brakes will run'em.

I can see at some point these being mandated on new bikes similar to the way reflectors and spoke protectors are, and quickly being removed by everyone immediately, and with prejudice.

I think they need to add some air ducting to that rear disc.......

Those guards look like they have some sharp edges. I think they're too dangerous.

It's been on off road motorcycles for a long time, to protect the rotor itself.

What the hell's wrong with those people? Had they not figured out how to sharpen their rotors prior to finding the solution? I'm guessing they've not had their ranks infiltrated with a lot of road cyclists yet.
