Around town I can't imagine it being an issue - I have 'unknown' sized rotors on the Inbred and stop super fast.

I'm more concerned with long mountain descents. I'm not the kind of chump that drags my brakes but I am the kind of idiot that will see how fast he can get going before the next corner.. so is heat dissipation an issue or is that just paranoia from most peeps?

It is an issue.

But just size up and go full heat-sink crazy when you go to the alps. No need for it bimbling around the UK, unless tandemz.

But if the fork is post mount I'd chuck an adapter on it anyway, if it meant I wasn't adjusting the bolts in the fork itself each time I fetteld with the brake.

You mean as a way of protecting the fork from repeated screwing in/out of disc mount?

Do people damage the threads that often? Surely they have these for hands.
