Clarks 6 pot disk brake

Alright

I just got my hands on a clarks 6 pot rear disk brake. Just wondering if anyone else out there had
tried them and what they think. So far my opinions are mixed but i haven't had a chance to try it
propperly as yet. I have put pics of it up on
http://homepage.eircom.net/~amaxwell/abracing.org/images/climb8.gif if you want to have a look.
Other question i have as i can't find out anywhere else. Does it run on mineral oil or dot 4? if
anyone knows please tell me as i need to bleed it asap so i can base my opinion of it on it
working properly.

I got this to try it out. I saw it at a trade show and thought it was worth trying cause there much
cheaper than hayes. Will probably sell it for what it cost me and get hayes. Just thought it was
worth a look, and seen as i was without a back brake and i have a race this weekend i hadn't really
got much choice.

_Tiny_ rotor - they tryin' to rely on pure surface contact area (more pads) for braking friction?
This seems a bit ineficient.......

Dunno, but if their Clim8 'High End' gear cable sets are anything to go by,
