It’s not a difference in clamping force, it’s how the pads react to the friction against the rotor. The front edge of the pad wants to bite into the rotor causing the tail end of the pad to flutter. If you put the smaller cylinder on the leading edge and apply the greater force on the rear of the pad and it will minimize this effect. Same idea as the shims on the stock pads. So if you don't have a brake chattering problem your good to go. ok, but buddy its so understressed in this application maybe that Injun Ear guy might have a comment on how the swept area of the stock pad in flutter mode, oh nevermind so much puck area, so little kinetic energy to arrest ;D Actually the injin ear did... the stock pad uses a shim on the trailing side of the pad... And again, it's the same amount of energy to dissipate, it’s just bigger pad= less stress (psi)... Lol… I’m just bustin yer balls buddy... ;D

N E way you look at it tripletwerp the calculations on the old style brakes are as follows. Fast Bike + Crappy Brakes = Widowmaker (or if Lucky messy pants.) brawney

I like the brake fluid spilling everywhere!! ;D Or is it fork oil? Nah, 'sgotta be brake fluid.

I'd say fork oil. That's his 300th stoppie (Chinese wheelie) of the day. The lower fork tube snapped and over he goes. Nice catch by the photographer.
