Should get nice skids!

Could a bb even take that kind of strain? :S

I wouldn't want my legs anywhere near a rotor. I touched one after the descent to my house in my hometown just out of interest/mental moment just to see how hot it was and will never do so again!

On a particularly long and nasty descent in the alps one of the rotors on my mountain bike got so hot that it discoloured and went slightly brown, which would suggest it got to over 200 degrees centigrade. Having that near a leg is a very bad idea, unless you really want to be branded with your rotors pattern.

you wont be able to spin your legs fast enough for heat to be a problem.

cept maybe bringmemyfix.

good point. clearly it's too late for thinking

my knees say no to jarring stops. my brain says no to disc on the bb. my eyes say no to discs on road bikes.

discs on road bikes are overkill.

discs + skinny tyres + light braking = skid skid skid

that and front wheel skid = pain

Re-god-damned-diculous.

best comment yet ^

I'd claim it as my own but it's a quote from Haggard.

you lose 17 points

But gain an erntirely different 17 for being honest and highlighting a film that has likely missed your viewing pleasure radar.

Good choice of number by the way :]
