大意就是随着RED22的发布,现在公路碟刹越来越多,然后UCI的技术协调员发表了一点看法
“We’re thinking about disc brakes for future use, but for the moment we don’t have enough data about them,” he said, adding that the first stage would be analyses of the manufacturers’ performance figures. He said, however, that none of the road disc manufacturers had provided data yet.
首先就是需要进行技术规格上的测试分析,但是目前没有厂家提供数据。
He pointed out two additional safety considerations. Firstly, if some riders used discs and other used rims, the variation in braking performance would be dangerous inside a fast-moving peloton, potentially leading to even more crashes.
对公路碟刹的担心主要有两点。第一是与夹器制动力上的差异,可能在比赛出现撞车事故。(碟刹制动力太强导致追尾?)
It means that, if disc brakes were sanctioned, all the main manufacturers – Shimano, Campagnolo, SRAM愀渀搀 market newcomers such as TRP – would have to supply UCI accredited discs to the pro teams simultaneously.
这意味着如果公路碟刹获得认可,也必须使用UCI指定的规格。
A second safety concern, Mottet pointed out, is heat buildup in the discs, which could lead to serious burns if the brakes touched riders in a crash.
第二个担心是,发烫的碟片会在撞车时烫伤运动员。。。
In the meantime, hydraulic rim brakes could fill the gap, offering better modulation but similar stopping power to cable brakes. The UCI’s only stipulation concerning hydraulic rim brakes is that the brake hood is not overly elongated to become a de facto handlebar extension giving an aerodynamic advantage.
最后顺便提了一句油压夹器。。。说油压夹器更容易安调,也能提供跟普通夹器类似的制动力。UCI对于油压夹器唯一的顾虑就是油夹用的手变头太长了,以至于形成了一个实际上的副把,从而获得空气动力学上的优势。(这个有意思。。。是说把横两头突起两个角会减小风阻?)
