I know we've all been looking and sorting this lil fella out for some while now?

But isn't it a truely awful overcomplicated design ? .

I've never understood what the vertical pivot actually does .. its just not needed ?.

A long while back in my distance early kart racing life, We originally had cable drum brakes

.. which were 2 front and 1 rear live axle brakes, and this had a cable compensator . ( a 2 into 1 into 2 jobbie) .
And this was miles simpler, and was expected to stop one plunging into things at approaching 100 mph .

..

But came the Airheart hydraulic disc setup and we all started stopping .

..

just my 2 cents
