This I don't get. I crashed plenty in my racing days, and never ever messed up a brake caliper. Can you elaborate on this concern?

Also, what kind of apocalyptic wrecks are you guys getting into? I've bent frames, tacoed wheels, ripped off rear derailleurs, bent handlebars, scuffed levers, etc. But I've never been in a wreck so catastrophic that I'd have any concern for every other part on the bike.

[Then again, I raced in an era of metal parts.]
