Big Brakes

[Larry C Leung]

Technically, no IF the brakes as supplied (little brakes?) don't heat up
so much as to cause fade. Other factors, the ability to modulate and hold
at the threshold, which better brakes do, uh, better. Bigger brakes fight
fade by having more mass to hold the heat in the rotor rather than pass
it to the fluid or pads.
