We looked closer at the Culprit Croz Blade of Jordan Jones. The Golden Colorado based Pro initially had it built with rim brakes but switched to disc brakes recently. And with the recent TRP Spyre disc recall he could go back to rim brakes for a while, as on his frame he can go either way. But it appears that Jones is sold on disc brakes.

"I live at the mouth of Golden Gate Canyon in Golden, CO and ride lots of dirt roads in the mountains via the canyon. The descents can get hairy, especially in winter, and the roads are occasionally rough no matter what the season. I wanted a bike that was very aggressive and fast yet still trusty on dirt roads and steep downhills. I feel like the Croz Blade spec'ed with disc brakes and 25mm wide tires give me that perfect match I was looking for. Also, with this terrain in mind I ride a compact crank set with a 11/28 cassette," said Jones.

The TRP folks have issued a voluntary recall of the Spyre brake.

Jones rides Reynolds Assault SLG Disc 41mm wheels with Continental Gatorskin 25mm tires and on the top of the fork you can see the cover where usually the integrated TRP rim brake sits.
