QAfter seeing the Buell ZTL (Zero Torsional Load) braking system and riding one of their bikes at a demo-day recently, I'm wondering why all the bike manufacturers don't adopt this system. From an engineering standpoint it seems to be the way to go by drastically reducing unsprung weight and simplifying the system. I wasn't able to fully test the benefits since it was a group ride, but I would love to know your opinion on the benefits and drawbacks.Tony LaMatinaVictorville, CAQAfter seeing the Buell ZTL (Zero Torsional Load) braking system and riding one of their bikes at a demo-day recently, I'm wondering why all the bike manufacturers don't adopt this system.
