Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Last one doesn't look too bad.

skip the looks, IMO riding a bike with rear disc on the street are bad...

Why?

I have commuted on my argos with disc, no problems there. Makes locking up slightly harder though.

As long as you have a valve access hole on both sides and don't tape over it, locking up should be easy :-)

taped over for aeros though innit.

Why?

Wind gusts from the side.
Where I commute there's a few corners you can barely stay inline on open wheels once the autumn storms return.

I don't fancy my chances on a disc wheel. Dying with your bike sounds romantic, but I assume game over and no continues.

Do you even disc?

Side wind load is all behind the CoG, so anything pushing you right is also turning you left. Rear discs are fine in crosswinds.

The original post says roads not commuting, does the poster even TT?

CoP, no?

CoP behind CoG is what produces the turning moment

^ This.

So, it's not suicide to commute on windy roads with a disc rear?

As I've seen people do it. And it's a road I nearly got blown sideways several times, it's a perfect wind tunnel setup with the wind being channeled through buildings.

If wrong, I happily stand corrected. No biggy.

Who the fuck commutes on a disc?

No idea, he had no nametag on his disc/bike.

Here have an anti, note the wee Italian flag between all the USA flagginess.

Those bars are ferociously ugly.

So much shopping.
Am I right?

If you don't know them, ho do you know they were commuting? Smells like bulls in here.
