Current Projects chat and miscellany

You seem to be labouring under a misapprehension. Larger rotors actually decrease the calliper mounting bolt shear load (and indeed the wheel ejection force, for traditionally positioned callipers) for a given amount of deceleration.

correct.
a bigger lever reduces the load. but it also increases the load.

it all depends on where you are standing. and the mounting holes stay in the same place.
