Yeah, disk breaks are definitely helping the trend. From the head mechanic of EF Education last year:
«The disc-brake thing has gained real momentum, so on those frames you can certainly run wider tires because there's the clearance for it. I could see it evolving to 26mm or 27 mm as the standard road-racing tire, sure. Why not.»
