Q about design of rear brake piston
Okay, this question has boggled my mind for a while. Why is the rear piston designed to turn as if it's threaded when the front one isn't? What's the functional purpose behind that?

When you pull that lever as if the were using the ebrake, you'll see it pump the piston outwards. So it doesn't require any brake line pressure.
I guess that's how it works as an Emergency Brake.. It shouldn't really fail unless your ebrake cable breaks.
This is just a guess from 10 hours of playing with the brake assembly.. Heh.
