I worry a little bit. When I'm in a pack that's screaming down a mountain descent with sharp switchbacks every so often, I sometimes worry about whether that rim-braked yay-hoo behind me is going to get slowed down in time. They always have. But I have sometimes altered my line in order to give them room to miss me.
