peer agreement (net): +1four-piston non-floating brake caliper, floating disc brake Explanation: Good info in refs. below -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-10 17:47:25 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sattel = Bremssattel (brake calipers) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-10 17:49:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For a pretty pic, see Figure 3 of the ref. http://www.leeric.lsu.edu/bgbb/7/ecep/auto/b/b.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-10 21:28:54 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- whoops, should read \"floating brake disc\" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-11 08:39:49 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In response to Edward\'s interesting comment, a check of the internet shows that \"brake rotor\" is an alternative name for the brake disc (Bremsscheibe) in the US (you learn something new every day!) . However, according to the google hits \"brake disc\" is more common. Everyone will understand \"brake disc\", but Brits (+ Commonwealth?) may have problems with \"brake rotor\" (IMVHO) Reference: http://www.suzukicycles.com/faq/tchch12.htm Reference: http://www.universalcycles.com/fr_foes.htm |
