Re: [ST] Counter Rotating Brakes

[david.funk@xxxxxxxxxxx]

A simple Carb has a slide that goes up and down, plus the float which does not move very much. So operationally a carb are very simple.

While I have no problems with my Sprint ST, it is very easy for me to think of things, lots of things, that would make it better. Until the actual, usable performance of counter rotating brakes is know it is just an interesting idea. I would like to know more.
