can someone please explain this dyaxial flange in english? I always thought it was the metal bushing creating friction and grooving in the piston, then it would ultimately become too much to overcome and the thing would break from sheer friction or binding at the bushing. This is why they updated the bushing with a nylon piece so that it will not gouge the B2 piston.
