Found this one this morning, even though it is apparently 7 years old at least!

Good to see people thinking outside the box, pushing the pistons back in when changing the pads would be a bastard though.

I think it's a good idea to be able to move the caliper to different positions.
That would change the braking forces applied to the road and alter the position of the unsprung weight.

looks like a different way of achieving same advantages as Buell's perimeter disc brake, same result of 1 disc, 1 calliper, less force through centre of rim etc but then just instead of having the whole lot mounted on the side it's in the middle, which looks like brake lines & changing pads is harder

I reckon Erik Buell would see this & have a laugh to himself, while he happily has the patents for single perimeter mounted brakes haha !!

Still good to see people thinking outside the norm

Errr wut?
Bet you reckon single discs pull to one side too.

Well don't they?
My old Holden would pull to one side when one side had worn the pads down too much... same thing you idiot..
