Funny you mention Fagan's SRAD from Budget Bike Battle #1, that's kind of what started it all. I've done a lot of reading about this since that came out and I'd say 60% of people replace them but the others say they're fine if cleaned regularly. But yeah, lots of people do have issues with them and seems from what I gather a radial master cylinder helps either way. In gixxer news who new a screen you can see through would be so useful?!

Aren't those 6 pot calipers renowned for just seizing up at drop of a hat anyways? 44t guys had the same one and ended up changing out calipers for 4 pots off a newer bike?
Remember 6 pot Ti that hope used to make 10+ years ago? Utter nightmares, they were fine for the 1st year from new, but so finicky that most folk gave up with them and just went back to M4 with 200/220 rotors or Formula Gustav's I think were the other DH brake of choice at that time.
