Dual disk mountainbike

Two disk brakes on the front wheel. If they worked, it would be overkill. Motorcycles don't need dual disks until they can do over 130 mph.

It gets worse. The brake lever is plastic. This means the force won't go from the hand to the cable very well. Then, to make both brakes "work" a cable splitter is used. Unless the brakes are very carefully set up, only one of the disks will work at a time as there is no automatic balancing between them.

Normally bikes as bad as this don't get through the door. We only took this inside to photograph as a warning.
