^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your thinking is not wrong. How much pressure is a diver subjected to,
considering that it is being exerted from all angles? Having two
hydraulic cylinders pressing on opposite sides of the brake disk is a way
of eliminating deflection without making the disk super heavy. Also, the
way the caliper is constructed, the opposing forces balance each other, so
you don't need a super heavy bracket.


Yes, a lighter bracket makes a lot of sense.
