Warning To Newbs Like Me - Disc Brakes Eat Fingertips

[Luke Rainbird]

If it's just a couple of mm though, whack another couple of spacers on the post-mount bolts (which may need to be a tad longer to compensate too)

I'd like to see a completed risk assessment before you carry out any of this work though.

You nailed it. Obviously I'm trying to write persuasively, to influence people to see this in the way that I do. Can you blame me? It isn't about disc guards, it's about riding, balance, technique, planning, etc. This guard is a small thing. A few guys have a passing interest in what I'm doing so I'm still posting.

I hear what you are saying, I call it "risk management." It is part of the responsibility of a father. It doesn't stop with "what did I tell you!" blaming them in some sort of angry tone after the fact just because you thought to mention it once. That doesn't avail you of responsibility for everything that happens to your kid. When there's nobody else around but you or the 10YO to blame, guess what - it's your fault

I don't need lessons on fatherhood thank you. I think you should keep this about your invention and save the life lessons for a different thread.

That's good advice. Though factual, it was slightly off topic. I would appreciate it as well, if I heard no further insinuation that there's something wrong with my kid, based on my wanting to put rotor guards on my bikes. I will keep it to the detail and limit my posts, how's that.

This thread is going nowhere except downhill. Feel free to start a new one concerned with the development of your disc protector and lets keep it on topic.
