What is the advantage of a duel pedal brake system, used on the external brake setup?
Just wondering.

As far as advantages/disadvantages or preferred set-up, that is a matter of opinion. The external brake is easier to change out brake pads vs. the internal due to the fact the internal pads are inside the reduction housing on the transmission which must be disassembled to remove. The advantage of a dual pedal brake is a better turning radius. You can lock the rear wheel to the inside of your turn and use it as a pivot point.
