Breaks :(

Just a follow up on the single/twin disk thing I did 3 or 4 races ago, I managed to get a p4 break calliper and decided to go to 1 disk for the weight saving,, many people said "DON'T BE STUPID!" But me being me did it any way. since then I have crashed, pulled out of races coz the breaks wern't working after boiling the fluid and used 3 sets of pads which cost £50 a set! Castle Combe totaly destroyed a new set of pads (which I have still got to pay chaz for... I'll run over and see you first thing in the morning at Pembry, sorry)

So... I'll be going back to the twin disk set up with my old heavy calipers for Pembrey.

p.s. I do listen to everybodys advice, even if I then decide to learn the hard way... Please, Please keep it coming!
