All bicycle brakes are designed to push a friction-creating brake pad against a braking surface on the revolving wheel by way of a hand-operated lever. As pressure is increased at the brake lever the friction force is increased. ... A disc brake focuses forces on a smaller rotor, situated towards the centre of the wheel.

* Shimano brakes can be used with most Avid adapters, a 200mm Avid adapter will work with a Shimano brake. * If your Avid brake uses CPS washers, do not use them with the Shimano brake, they will pack the caliper out too much and make the pads overhang the outer edge of the rotor.

One wheel cylinder operates the brake on each wheel. Two pistons operate the shoes, one at each end of the wheel cylinder. The leading shoe (closest to the front of the vehicle) is known as the primary shoe. The trailing shoe is known as the secondary shoe.

The primary purpose of 2-piece rotors is to reduce unsprung and overall vehicle weight. This is accomplished by using two-piece disc construction. The 2-piece design also allows for independent expansion of the rotor and hat without coning.

Ordinary inverter AC uses a single cylinder-shaped rotary compressor. ... The twin-rotary compressors in dual inverter ACs turn with a phase difference of 180 degrees, which promotes more stability when they are operating at full capacity. More stability means fewer vibrations and whirring and, ultimately, lesser noise.
