Surely they have these for hands.

Actually, having seen how many threads there have been on Singletrack, asking about fitting a helicoil to their brake mount...

Everyone fucks things up from time to time (except Tester, probably) - it's then a crap shoot on the thing you fuck up. Get lucky and it's rounding off a bolt. Unlucky and you've ruined a £200 postmount fork.

From a consumer's perspective flatmount and IS are both better standards.

How does flat mount remove the risk of fucking up the fork? Aren't you still just bolting a caliper to a fork?

After accusing other people of being hamfisted, I'll no doubt mangle the next component I attempt to install :-/
