- Yes, I forgot to mention that. A higher Cf might allow you to drop
- a disk, while if you wanted to use a combo with a lower Cf (like stainless)
- then you might step up to two disks

- I did discuss this, and termed both ratios 'the mechanical advantage'
- of the system. If you take one disk off your bike, and don't change
