yeah thats what i was getting at when i said i'd heard of the heat causing the brakes to lock up, its never happened to me so my info is second hand but it was my understanding that in a bike unlike a car when the fluid boils the resevoir isn't big enough to account for the added pressure, so its basically like squeezing the brakes, the pads rub or in some cases lock up the brakes until they cool down. in cars however the bigger openbath resevoir allows for pressure to be releaved, then you press the pedal and of course the gas is compressable so the pedal goes to the floor without putting much pressure on the pads, and you fly off the track

wow i didn't realize anyone did the double brake thing, cause you would need brake tabs on both sides of teh rotors, and yeah it would be way overkill but really funny
