As I said, it's the "over the top" effect that limits braking.
Most road riders do not brake near that limit so it isn't a
parameter.

Isn't that an inherent design flaw? Perhaps we should refer to it
as the OTB force from this point on and ask ourselves why the
manufacturers continue to market such a product. And why hasn't the
CPSC stepped in?

Just wondering....

The hell you say! Maybe bicycles should be banned because you can
fall over if you stop and don't put your foot down... on the side to
which the bicycle leans.

Coming up with such remarks makes me doubt that there is anything more
behind much of this "there is no problem" talk than a desire to be
contra. Either that or it is a defense of having bought a disc brake
bicycle and making a defense of how good a decision that was. Other
than something on that vein, I don't see why all this ad hominem is
crudely rising against the concept that current disc brakes pose a
hazard and one that could be easily fixed.
