thanks guys, u've strenghtened my previous idea and helped me prove it! Thanks ppl!

The numbers needed for these calculations are extremely hard to find. I am hoping that someone would know a formula that could easily describe the connection between leverage differences. It is a 1" difference in radius, that would show, would it not? The plan is to keep it as simple as...

thanks, I am aware of all of the aspects above. Note: This is about Mountain Bike disc brake systems (though it is in principle the same as every other type of Disc Brake system). I am looking for the formula that will prove that a 203mm rotor will have greater torque force than a 160mm...

Hey - I am a bike mechanic with a large interrest in physics. I know that a larger disc brake rotor provides a greater braking effectiveness, but how can you mathmatically prove it by using physics formulas? And what formulas would be useD? Any ideas would be highly appriciated!
