I particularly like:
[i]"Brake Force One lever assemblies do not require an oil reservoir"[/i]
and:
[i]Space between the pads and the disc can be regulated with this wheel, so if you hear 'bling, bling, bling' you make a few turns and the rubbing noise disappears"[/i]
Sounds like a Hope C2....
They look pretty good. I wonder how much.
The felled tree I used at Afan on Saturday stopped me pretty damn quick!
A branch in the spokes is the most powerful brake ever, in my experience.
Hasn't someone already done the twin co-centric piston thing? Only their adjuster was at the calliper IIRC?

Looking back through rose tinted glasses my C2's were wayy more powerfull than anything that came later, although my new Elixirs seem similarly powerfull, but there's been 8 years inbetween them! And apparently the newest Shimano are even better.
You're thinking of the [url= http://bicycling.com/blogs/thestraightdirt/tag/ashima-apv/ ]Ashima APV[/url], uses co-axial pistons.
My C2s were good, but I killed them coming down skiddaw. Over-heated and couldn't wind them out any more. As soon as they freed up a little, they'd heat up as they were still dragging and then lock up again.
This bit has me sold!
" new brakesaddle geometrie for even higher fixity "
