Anybody using an oversize clutch slave cylinder?

Nigel Booker · 27-Sep-2003, 19:08

I've been looking at the alternative clutch slave cylinders on offer has anybody got any thoughts on which is the best quality, price and reduction in clutch pressure.

The only options I've found are STM, Tecmoto or evoluzione.

i'm using a Tecmoto one.Bloody excellent.Didn't stop me fitting a radial clutch cylinder though!!

I think Nelly at Cornerspeed does a really good one as well.

Jasper are you using the newer style stm slave cylinder?

Tecmoto sell one for £150 did you buy it from them?

Nigel,see my edit!I've a Tecmoto one,not STM!Sorry,you were quick off the mark!

Sorry jasper not to clear on that last post.

I meant are you using the dedicated tecmoto version or the stm model sold by tecmoto?

Just designed and had my own made and from the initial feedback people seem to be happy with them.
Can't comment on how the lever compares to others but it is lighter but still retains good feel.
The piston is a 3 seal arrangement, the pushrod sits in a bearing and the unit is pretty much sealed from any dirt or chain gloop messing things up. In silver machine finish or anodised black.
£100 plus banjo/bleed bolt if required.

Jasper,
how much difference does it make, can you operate the clutch with the same amount of pressure as a cable operated clutch?

I need to get a decent reduction in the pressure required as since the accident I've lost most of the movement in my left hand little finger. You'd be amazed at how much of the work your little pinky actually does.

The slave makes a HUGE difference in the effort needed to actually pull the lever.I'm not sure if it is up to the level off a cable,it certainly will be if you change the master as well.£££££.But certainly worth it.

Hi, i just brought a tecmoto slave cylinder and must say it does make a difference, but still not as light as a cable clutch,but it does help. Hope this help a little.

Jasper,
so which type of master cylinder will make the most difference? Would the Brembo or AP billet master cylinders be any good?
