Me Personally, I have never used a double caliper but single caliper works just fine for me! The only thing is that You could only use one at a time. Sometimes when you are going from a no hander to a seat stander as an example you need to let go totally of the foot brake before grabbing the hand brake. Not hard to get used to it though. Same from Hand Brake to foot pedal you need to fully realease first before using the other one. When I go to Vegas here soon within I think the next few weeks you could take a look at mine. Most people like it!!! It saves you on the double caliper + the steel braided line is shorter therefore cheaper!!!

Thanks Manny!
Good to hear you guys comming back to Vegas.There is no one really to ride with.Paul and Kane r still in cali.I know Kane had single caliper on his I was there when he was making it,he used it few times and his rear break was tosted 4 some reason(maybe did smth wrong).Called Warren yesterday,he said better 2 calipers,he uses HH ebc pads in hand brake,because u only use like 1or2 fingers so makes it easier.single caliper sounds easy to make,less money maybe.I got all the parts,but steel braided line to make it double, so I don't think it really matters to me.By the way my birthday is october 16 it's saturday,I think I'm going to LA to party 15-17.Warren,Kane,Pauly,Troy,Jessy should be there 2,hopefully Nick can get few days of work and come 2.Party hard just like in vegas when you all were here no doubt

P.S. Got your sticker on 2

Well more and more people saying that 2 calipers are better.I think price is about same to make it.Single easy,double takes time.maybe should make both at the same time.on left and right side
