| Benefits of radial master cylinders?
Thought I'd post this here as I recall, quite a few have upgraded your master cylinders to the radial versions. With my bike rebuilding gathering momentum and taking the opportunity to 'do it all at once', my thoughts have turned towards Radial brake & clutch master cylinders - in particular the brembo race versions. Now, I am attracted to them like "P Diddy to a Bentley" for the bling factor but I would venture that they have another purpose other than looking swell.
So, bearing in mind that the front forks are being replaced by some Ohlins complete with Brembo radial calipers:
1. What benefits are to be gained?
2. Would it be false economy to use the standard master cylinders with the new set-up or are the Brembo Race master cylinders "keeping it in the family" so to speak.
3. Are other brands better/ worse or just different i.e Disciatti or Magura?
4. What do the different diameters mean i.e. PR19x20, 19x18, 16x18?
5. Will the clutch lever be harder to pull than stock - thinking of uprating the clutch slave cylinder to the Spareshack evoluzione item at the same time?
By the way, I have rather small hands so if they are not as adjustable as the stock levers, they would not be a good thing. Thanks for any enlightening thoughts that travel in my direction.
Best regards
