Brembo Levers

Guys, I know that these are interchangeable between brakes and clutch but do you have to get the correct ratio lever that correspondes with the master cylinder? 16 x 16 levers seem hard to come by ( at reasonable prices) were as the 18 and 19 ratios are easy to acquire at a reasonable cost. Anyone shed any light?

one dimension relates to the Piston size of the Mastercylinder and the other the distance between the pivot and the span adjuster which pushes the piston.
Changing from a 16 to a 18 lever increases the distance betwwen Pivot and adjuster, so for the same braking effect you need less effort of for the same effort you get a greater braking effect.

16 X 16 is usually recomended for Single Disc setup or as a clutch master cylinder

Not sure what the one is on my DD bike is its one of the folding ones off ebay that cost about £15 from Taiwan

Thank you. Could I therefore put an 18 ratio lever on a clutch that is 16 x 16? What would the effect be if I did that? Have you got a good link for your levers please? £15 is right up my street!

Swaping to a 16 to a 18 will give a lighter clutch action
