I have to admit that is one of the brake tabs that didn't exactly fill me with confidence. People have said that the "Willits style" brake tab is sufficient to keep a road fork from breaking. Paragon sells one, --link-- but I'm not convinced. I have heard of too many road forks breaking to be willing to put a disk brake on one without fatigue testing. Since I'm not going to do fatigue testing, I probably will never put disk tabs on a road fork. I think the fork Alex Wetmore made is likely to hold up, but I don't see how you could be sure of that
