It gets dirtier, but it could be safer to do so. He suggests putting the disk lock on the sprocket of your bike (in case you have a disk lock like mine).

There are way more components around your disk, making it harder to reach with cutting tools. You have stuff like the chain, the bridge, and the exhaust in the way.Ĭutting the breaking disk is harder in the rear for the same reason. If you ever had to take your wheels off, you’ll agree with me. Taking the rear wheel off is much harder than taking the front wheel off. All these three things are harder with the rear wheel.
