Hydraulic Brakes, are any NEW systems (2011) NOT 2 Hydraulic pistons, per EACH caliper?
Or are they all? That is do all the hydraulic brakes have at least 2 Hydraulic pistons per EACH caliper? From as many manufacturers as you can think, such as: Hope, Avid, Tektro, Clarke, Shimano, Magura, etc
Also have you seen the MBUK hydraulic brake test at Fibrax? A MTB rolling road, DRY & WET!

Also they made a Video clip of a rolling road hydraulic disc brake test, see below:
WMV VID 20 mb's
Also of interest an article on the Caliper standard mounts (IS and Post Mount):

So back to my question again, when I press the brake lever of hydraulic disc brakes, do both brake pads push inwards to contact the brake disc/rotor?
IE. When I look down did both pads go intogether?
Because on cable pull mechanical disc brakes ONLY ONE pad is pushed forward by the caliper (That pad pushes against the disc, then the disc is pushed ever so slightly to fixed but adjustable pad).
See the analogies being made here? If NOT, as TANK said in the film The Matrix (Yes, that old chestnut), or words to such effect, then you're a pile of worthless rubbish!
