Why is the disc brakes?

Bike Parts - Disc Brakes

I do not see the point in the normal course of the wheel disc brake on the road. is the thickness of the brake disc brake, with the disk rim.

The maximum diameter of the wheel rim and, therefore, it is the most leverage the braking force for the purposes of the application.

The disc is through the braking forces shall be sent to the hub may not be in a locked spokes. What is more, driving stress is one direction, follow in the direction opposite to the stress of the brakes.In this way may not emphasize, as the case may be, and you do not know the spokes would lead to breakage or future slack.
On the basis of the normal thickness of the rim of the brake must not be locked, there is little or no stress, (with the exception of normal weight, stressing the.) stress is directly in front of the rim-tire.


The radius of the disc brake means may not be locked, there may not be the only be. has not Crossed spokes must not be tangent to the other side of the drive is locked, the rear wheel of the vehicle, you must also have a locked-out may not be tangent to sides, the front wheel.

Tangent, may not be in a locked spokes is longer, therefore more weight;Also, be sure the weight this is spinning, which is more important than the radius of the spoke wheel is ... a little less wind resistance.
The disk and its thickness must be heavier than the conventional brake and to produce more expensive.

See pambundók or cyclo-cross bike disc brake argument because it potentially collect less than brake that is close to the tire Muta.

But on the road to the wheel; it Just may not be. Why do something more than does it have to be complicated.
