  • why? whats wrong with disc brakes? are you scared you're going to get your fingers caught in them? How? if the bike is moving, how are you going to have your hand in the middle of their wheel?

    People keep saying they are dangerous, but we've not yet seen one accident that was caused by a disc brake. Mostly, the only thing that happens is that the disc rotor gets bent. What about where the chain feeds onto the chainring, surely that's dangerous too, to get your fingers stuck in there, oh, but you'd have to get your hand in there, while the rider is still pedalling, so we'll let it go.

    I did once get someone's foot stuck in my chain. I didn't realise straight away, I was trying to get back on my bike, and couldn't work out why the guy was standing so close to me & whimpering...
