Papvas, unfortunately for you, I'm guessing there's probably more chance of getting the batch of 10 for S2 conversions.... before the RS2 batch

Do the S2 and RS2 have the same proportioning valve?Joe "NoNonsense"

what is the proportioning valve ? ?Comment

I was thinking of the damping pads. These sit in the pistons and are stuck to the back of the pads aren't they? I can see how they might work if there is nothing between the caliper piston and pad. I am assuming that where the "plates" sit.Originally posted by PapVas
Actually, if you are pulling from the top, won't that mean that in effect there will be a wedge effect rather than full pad contact.
Just trying to get my head around the concept!Comment

I was thinking that it might give a wedge effect with the top clamp only - also knocking back the caliper pistons
but surely not.....

Obviously we aren't going to get a proper looksee at the mechanism. I like simplicity!
However, it would be interesting to have others informed opinions!
I guess it will depend on the depth of the plate as to what it will lever off.
Perhaps the reason why OE Manufactures use the seperate caliper is for a more even clamping, and perhaps greater clamping force and the opportunity to rip you off for consumables! At the end of the day, if they can save a few bob, they will! Taking into account the safety critical aspect of it against the cost of potential claims!Comment
