Good. I think people who focus on the minor details of James' maths are missing the point: disc
brake forks have the same dropout angle as rim brake forks, and physics being what it is this means
there is a significantly increased risk of uncontrolled release. Before James nobody was seriously
investigating it. Now they are. Kudos to James.
