Lightbulb Re: front brake ducting

Hi Syed,

It's best to plumb the air into the rotors through the vanes so both sides of the disc cool at similar rates. Just pumping air onto one face has produced cracking and warping.

Take a look at our front uprights, the entire inner bore is a natural to fix a mounting flange and cooling flex duct to. The air travels through the centre of the hub, before exiting through the rotor hat and vanes. This design also reduces heat soak on the wheel bearings.

Would be a very trick setup, and the rest of the improvements that come with the new uprights in geometry and strength are a bonus.

Cheers
