A braking/breaking dilemma - discs
Moderator: robbosmans
I propose a hypothetical dilemma to the WW crowd:
You've comitted a crime, and as punishment, a bicycle weighing 6.8 kilograms will be dropped on you from 3 metres.
As an added twist, you may make one final choice before the administration of your punishment.
You may pick if the bike is equipped with conventional wheel rim caliper brakes, or disc brakes. Which will it be?

Disc - And please drop of on its side. The extra surface area of the rotors should result in a slight difference in impact velocity.
EDIT: I'm just playing the game here, I obviously never do anything criminal.
(apart from maybe that haircut I had in the 90s)

Haha good one! Can I also choose if the electric motor is running or not?
