Subject: re: why are we still using pneumatic brakes in cars?

you can leave a bit of air in the lines, makes them pneumatic-hydraulic, not that fashionable but why not give it go, you can adjust the amount of air in the lines depending how spongy you want it, possibly a big advantage might be increased longevity of brake pads and discs or hubs, because you have reduced friction, and we all know friction wears things out, so yeah you’re half way to appreciating low-friction brakes. Saves on tyre wear also.

just so happens I am salesman for air to go in brakes, our marketing department came up with the perfect name for it, wait for it…brake air….yeah, made special for the job, we’re the world leading manufacturers and distributors of brake air, we also make super pure air for the brake air, for high fidelity braking.

it’s all win win with brake air, i’ve never had a customer come back with complaints, not one.

we also sell brake fluid to go with our highest quality brake air, the best quality available, optimized for compatibility.

being silly there.

hydraulic brakes and very reliable, and you can feel the pressure applied reliably.
