Ok I leave that thread, you're all right :lol:

I'm sorry but this is absolute rubbish, you can only race who is there. Saying if x y and z were there the finishes would be different is nonsense. Maybe Phil knew exactly how many points he needed and rode appropriately at Cadwell ?

The only way better brakes would help is if Phil was pulling on his and just couldn't stop any more so was having to brake early to compensate, I doubt this was happening tho'

:lol: That's the most laughable theory I've heard for ages!

As Phil & I have discussed many times over, many of those racing 620s seemed to only really take advantage of their extra power towards the mid-end of the season. It was getting harder and harder to keep up (something evidenced by the end of my engine at Brands), and the possibility of potentially doing some serious damage to yourself for a fourth place was enough to want to stay sensible.

Remember Phil is one of the only top riders not to come off all season (by his own fault), proof enough to me that he probably had a good 5% left, both on the brakes and around the corners. If he'd had a 620 with a single disc I'm sure he'd have spent the whole season sitting on Geoffs rear wheel, with me right behind him.....sometimes..... :ninja:

Exactly, go with whats right for you,
I tried both and know which I am happier with, all I was trying to do was pass on my experience of using both setups and including the advice of a friend who is a far better racer than I am to help answer your original question.

Be interesting to see what your bike finishes next season with or for that matter starts the first meeting with.

I played the long game all season Tony...i had my overall DD goals and i Acheived them...........

I certainly was not braking early to compensate for lack of braking power.........

U all use twin discs..............im sticking with my single......;)..until i get passed on the brakes that is :devil:

How about triple discs........;) ;)

i got carbon discs for next year............with mono-block callipers...................;)..they are legal if you read the rules right..........................

TBH I rarely use the front brake, I find the back is more than good enough with the front used in emergencies only :)

My bike's problem won't be my brakes :D

What brakes :puzzled:
