Disc/QR dangers . Worth reading I think. I bet you're quick releases will be even tighter in future m@.

Yeah that's all been around for a while. If I remember an explination correctly it amounts to the wheel trying to pivot round the point where the braking is applied to the disc. If the disc is behind the fork it will in effect try to pull the skewer down and out of the fork tabs, whereas if it is in front of the fork it will tend to pull the QR up into the fork.

To be honest though it is not a problem that I have had in three year of disc brake use. There is an article somewhere on BM about this and I think that is where I got the above explination from.

#puts on old hat# :(

john, what about the qr coming loose, but the wheel staying in.... untill the skewer ends up getting caught in the rotor

another thing to think about

I read that years ago John.

OK OK so I'm reinventing the wheel, no need to rub it in :(

The mounts still in the wrong place though.

John I didn't mean to imply that you were reinventing the wheel, and from a purely engineering perpective it is better to locate the caliper forward of the fork. It's just not a problem that I've really come across.

Back to the original point though, post mounts NOooooooooo. Okay I know that they are easier to set up but the flip side of this ease of setup is that it is also easier to knock them out of place. The set up of IS mounts takes longer but unless the bolts come all the way out they will always have the correct amount on shims in place so they take less fettling with once they are on correctly. That is my experience with my GFs brakes anyway.
