Fluid boiling is more likely to seize a system than mechanical failure.

I'm not sure about that, but it doesn't really matter - the brakes no longer work as they are supposed to.

Worth remembering DOT absorbs water from frickn' everywhere meaning that your brake fluid only has to reach the boiling point of water before strange things start to happen.

Oh no, absolutely agreed, my point was within the required use (tandem) of the type of brake, there's been more reports of hydraulic failing suddenly than mechanical.
Failure rates of both are guaranteed, just a matter of when.

I think you should have duel front disc on tandem really. The hubs exist so why not. Stopping 200kg with single front disc isn’t enough.

Someone needs to make dynamo hub with duel disc.
