Floating disk carrier question

Hi Terrence. I was wondering what's the difference between a floating disk and a fixed disk in brake systems. I also know that there are double rear disk systems. Which one's the best?

Floating disks are good because you don't have to keep re-adjusting the pad clearance, and in theory there is less chance of drag when the axle is under flex. I'm not sure which is best because people win on fixed disk and floating at the highest levels.

Ask me anything
