never did us much harm running twin discs on both our bikes over the 3 years

Can't fault that logic
In the first ever DD race on the Cadwell Woodlands circuit at the start of 2005 I turned up with a 583 running a single Brembo fully floating cast disc as I was convinced one disc would be enough.

After failing to finish any of the 3 races I started that day due to brake problems the first that resulted in a crash going into Hall bends, I lost confidence in the idea of a single disc although I did give it another go at Castle Combe the following meeting in 2005 but just didn't trust it enough.

Ever since then I have been running a twin disc setup and have had no futher brake issues.
