Yes, I should have said caliper piston knock back. A slight movement of the pistons displaces a relatively large amount of fluid and causes the pedal to travel
another inch or more. Scott gets spooked when that happens because he is running next to and toward concrete K rails. He has been pumping the brakes for years because he does not trust them. The Kirkham hub carriers are rock solid so he is beginning to trust the brakes more which will translate in to faster lap times.
