^ I'm not questioning the setup of 2 caliper brakes, and a rear disc. I am questioning using the rear disc constantly as a drag brake.

Does Ercikson advocate using the disc as a drag brake?

It would seem a better management of the heat issue to use the disc either in conjunction with the calipers, or alternating with the calipers, and not dragging it the whole way down.
