Re: [doc] DMUK brakes,/ springs

Cross drilled and radially vented makes sense because brake fade is 
caused by the gasses that build up from the pads getting hot and 
creating a gas cushion. I'm sure race cars use pads that give fantastic 
braking with no gasses to speak of, but which last 50 miles...

But this is just "what I've read"
