Re: The Final Word on front disc brakes
Actually, I don't endorse the two long shoe rear brakes mod ... my thought has always been that the longer shoe distorts more (much to Doc's point with the front caliper stiffness discussion).
I run the larger rear cylinders and soft compound organic rear shoes (again, to Doc's point about friction coefficient ... the cheapy shoes won't wear as long, but usually have better friction).
So ... anyway, I think the discussion above was launched by the thought of running discs on all four corners, so the rears are probably off point.
