Default Re: Brake problems?

Hi Art,

Since you have committed to a new M/C, why don't you consider going to a smaller diameter M/C if one is available for your application?

A larger caliper or a smaller M/C = the same thing. It's just a ratio of the areas...

One thing to be careful about with increased pedal ratio and a smaller M/C or larger caliper is the total brake fluid displacement per stroke.

Go too wild and you would have to pump the pedal to get enough fluid to apply the pads.

Just my thoughts,
Bob
