Fork disc tab centerline or tangent?
Found an old post in another forum discussing placement of a disc tab on a fork blade. One person mentioned that he feels mounting the disc tab, IS or post mount, not flat mount, offset to the side of the fork blade is preferred over mounting it on the centerline of the blade. Something to do with reducing a stress point where the tab ends on the blade.
Anyone able to explain the logic behind this? A riser will occur wherever the tab ends regardless if it is tangent to the tube or right on the center line of the tube. How far off am I?
