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.




However, those who read Carlton's article on Bikebiz might think it
safe to draw the conclusion that "industry experts say QRs are safe,
when used correctly", even though numerous industry experts have quite
clearly expressed the contrary view.

They will also not know that one case was recently settled in favour
of the rider.

Out of court settlements almost always include a statement that the
plantiff is not admitting liability. It is often less costly to pay a
small settlement than it is to defend the claim, particularly if the
jurisdiction is known to be plaintiff-favorable.


That first plantiff should be defendant.
