    Brake calipers - big and little pistons

    Thread Starter: pete376403

    Looking at front brake calipers - in the case of floating (sliding) types, some have two equal sized pistons, others have one large and one small piston. Does one type have an advantage over the other?

      Weather got better for the race in the afternoon, although it was still a bit windy. Great race to watch.

      That's because we're a class that always sticks to the rules

      Indeed, but they got off on the grass at that last start but the CTAS coverage wasn't close enough to show us exactly what happened, and they had a good comeback from that - well done boys .

      His favourite action? What about you Kick were you happy with the weekend?

      I watched a bit of the CTAS coverage and that was pretty good compared to previous efforts including the post race interviews.
