Should a fat bastard be worried about using disc brakes rather than calipers?
It seems to me that disc brakes would exert a torque on the wheel axle that caliper brakes would not.
Compared to your fat arse bouncing up and down on it, it's not that much.
Axles are massively over engineered, forks tend to get bent before the axle...
