Those of us who have seen your prior postings about the issue of
disc brake ejections are fully aware of your position on the matter.
Is it possible for you to accept the fact that for the majority of
the readers, the evidence thus far published is not persuasive that
there is a serious problem here which is not related to user error?


All that would prove is that the majority of readers lack an adequate
understanding of science. Given how weak science education is in the
US, this is not a surprise.

The situation with disk brakes is very simple. It is a faulty design
that poses a danger to the people who use disk brakes. Current disk
brake designs cause an ejection force that canpush the front wheel out
of the dropout. There is no way for that the be refuted, although
once again the strange phenomenon of people defending bad design will
no doubt rear its head in this thread.
