Default Why do some forks and frames have brake rotor size limits?

A lever is never supposed to bottom out before the brake force on

How old are you again Joerg? With even the old Campy brakes it was
possible to bottom out the levers often without locking the wheels.


I clearly consider that a faulty brake system. In Germany they would
instantly disqualify a motor vehicle with such a flaw and not even let
you ride it off the TUEV test site.


But Jeorg, you aren't in Germany.
