Nice looking brakes. But am I the only one who thought "background in designing dual clutches and gearboxes for supercars" in combination with "Taylor has chosen to use stainless steel for the piston material due to its low thermal conductivity" sounds wrong?! I mean, pots (the cooking kind) are usually made from SS, and those are not necessarily known for their "low thermal conductivity". I thought that was the main reason why we have ceramic pistons and all that crap. I went ahead and checked and indeed steel is fairly okay among the metals and better (i.e. lower conductivity) than aluminium, copper, silver and gold (there you go, dream of a tricked-out trickstuff brake with gold pistons), but still, compared to non-metallic materials it's on the high side. I guess the alternative in this case was to machine them from aluminium, in which case it is really better (and harder) to use steel. A slight wording change would make it more clear that Taylor went the extra mile. Oh, and regarding the pads... I haven't compared Guide pads to Hope pads (and never seen a Hope pad in person), but how can the one be "better" than the other? Do they have a different total thickness?
