just wondering can you get dual front brakes ?

Again never seen dual front brakes. Whilst cable discs are ok, they are prone to cable stretch just like a normal rim brake, whereas hydraulics dont really suffer from that. I have Deore hydraulics on my Giant with as big a rotor as you will find, 203 on the front and 180 on the rear, the stopping power is pretty full on even with a little air in the rear line that i need to get looked at.
SRAM make a 4 piston caliper now aswell.
