Subject: Re: Antwort: disc locks... The continuing Saga


It seems we have a few differences of opinion on disc locks but I think I
can claim to be an expert on wrecking discs with them :-)

Here's the benefit of my experience with the rear disc...
I used to use a disc lock on the rear wheel on an Aprilia Tuareg until I
drove off with it (and kept driving). The disc shattered instantly. I
concluded from this that the disc gets hit a lot harder on the back because
on the front so much of the force is taken up when the front forks dive.

Unfortunately I was going on holiday to Switzerland the next day but after
removing the remnants of the rear disc altogether I realized that I could
live without it for a while.

But, at all, why don't you take the rear break disk. There the damage is
less than at the front.
