Sorry, but this simply isn't true.
There are pistons both sides of the disc in the caliper, don't forget! |
The point I was trying to make is that the braking force in the disc is transmitted to the wheel hub by the friction between the disc and the hub and not by driving on the bolts so they should not be in shear (unless they have slackened and the clamping force between the disc and wheel has dropped). Dont think opposing pistons affect this
