I have broken my collarbone twice, several ribs, fingers, tor ligaments, cracked my head open and suffered many roasties. These were all caused by disc brakes!!!

Yes, me too but thats very debatable causation we have there. 

(But I do really have a large scar on my leg from a hot rear disk) 

...

I haven't taken them off my MTB however.

Soooooo, Anyone have a link for Chinese carbon disc brake wheels?? Now that the braking surface of the carbon rim will not be an issue(the overheating and warping etc) I reckon quite a few more would lean towards Chinese carbon wheels now...
