i've broken my calliper in quite a short time, i would definitely want to protect it.
I bought a max power one for the front that will protect both rotor and calliper. However he has mounts on his design of forks to attach it to, so i'm just going to solder a nut to my forks or drill and tap them (it's thick alu).
But for a steel frame, brazing (or soldering, with a propane torch DIY) a nut on to the chainstay/fork blade would be a simple way to mount a guard to give extra strength, i'm not keen on just using the disc tabs as mounting points.
While we're at it, i know the rules thread is over there >> but i think it should be compulsory to have rotors covered, they could do some serious damage.
