Re: [ST] Counter Rotating Brakes

[david.funk@xxxxxxxxxxx]

The key issue is not complexity, or weight or, ...

It could be worth the extra weight, drag, ...
Fuel Injection is more complex, but it is worth it (to me anyway).

I just want to see this counter rotating thing tested. Hopefully by Roadracingworld.
