As debate continues to rage over the use and safety of disc brakes in the pro peloton, we tried this simple test.
Using a disc-equipped bike, we got the wheel spinning fast before pushing a bike shoe hard against the blade of the disc until it slowed to a stop. Then we pushed down hard on the disc with a bare thumb. Take a look at our video to see the results.
We are keen to hear your thoughts. Are discs as dangerous as they are made out to be? Have your say in the comments below.
