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?

Why do you claim to speak for the majority of readers, most of whom
have expressed no public opinion on the matter?

Does the fact that the majority of people have expressed no public
opinion (read; interest) speak volumes as to the severity of the problem?
Do YOU know the relevant statistics to say that this is a major problem
or design flaw?

Life is inherently risky and I for one would rather check my qr's before
a ride


And what if it happened after 3 hours of riding even when you checked it
before the ride?

Life sucks and **** happens, our (my anyway) pastime is rife with risk. If
the design is inherently flawed why have we not all been maimed by our
disk/qr problems? (As MV would no doubt wish :-).

We drive our cars with unsafe airbags and inherently flawed seat restraints.
Trains crash and so do planes. I'm not trying to be a troll here but should
we get some perspective on this.
