That is so awful; Its does not even appear to be one plate but two straps of alloy with no triangulation. Even if the lower mount stays rigid the calliper will rotate around lower mounting bolt, clash on the disc and just push the glued on top mount straight off. Its laughable its so cruddy. And you claim to be a mechanic and have good physics knowledge? thats one of the worst bodges have ever seen.
Any credibility you ever had as a mechanic is just gone.
I truly am sorry that I appear to have sufficiently upset you to make you act like a crying schoolboy and type without thinking.
Here’s a clearer pic, have a think about what you see and see if you want to revisit any of the above before I destroy it. Oh and how is my ability as a mechanic (proven in various lbs over decades) related to my ability as a designer/fabricator? A mere moment’s thought establishes the 2 are quite different.

It seems that any resistance to rotation is reliant on the frictional force in the bolts, and the stiffness of the glue joint?…Is the spoon connected to anything else in any way other than the single bolt and the glue?
It’s not a spoon, it’s 4mm plate steel 🙄 the lower mount is bolted on by 2 M5 bolts to the frame, the upper mount is glue/CF wrap, under the wrap the arm is about 2″ long where if mates to the stay.

Why even go to the effort to do all that for a cable disc?
I don’t understand.
(1) You can’t get hydraulic discs for drop bar brake levers and (ii) they work as well as hydraulics.

sure looks like it….why has he done that….and to a Ti frame no less?
ti frame – ideal for the bike’s purpose, easy to remove the mount & revert if it doesn’t work out – would be a lot more tricky if the frame was painted.
You lot really haven’t thought your flaming through at all have you?[/b]
