Depending on how big the rotor is and how powerful the set up is wouldnt there be an issue with putting too much stress into the fork especially if it is carbon.
Not sure if this is scientifically correct but as the disk brake is applying the force much further down the fork there is a lot more leverage being exerted on it compared to a rim brake which is positioned much closer to the headset etc?
