Normally you've got almost a full rotation to cool down, there you've got almost none then half a rotation.


you could argue the brakes wont be applied for the same length of time as a single caliper set up, so that could prevent them from overheating


then you could argue that anymore force than a single performance caliper offers would result in the wheels locking up as brakes are only as good as your tyres, meaning they'd be on for the same amount of time.

then you could argue that brakes dont work on a on/off mechanism and a modified servo will stop them locking up with light pedal pressure
