The argument that a hypothetical mechanical disc Riv would be cheaper appears to be built on the fallacy that mechanical disc brakes are less expensive than hydraulic disc brakes. They are not. Hydraulic disc brakes are super cheap and super awesome. Mechanical discs are for people who have a particular brake lever they want to use, or people who are intimidated mechanically by hydraulics. Even dirt cheap bikes come with hydraulic disc brakes now.
