the only time ive ever heard of a frame breaking is a trials bike, and i guess thats just because of them putting alot of force into stopping while going backwards.....ive never actually seen this happen and and i still find it hard to beleive .. and even if that did happen i would think the hub or the calliper would be the first to go either that or the mounts, but not the frame :S

and they did put discs on road bikes in red bull road rage. where they needed more stopping power. . .
with the price of some bb7s, i would go with discs.
