Kropatchek Serious Thumper Offline Why more than 1 cylinder? Posts: 1457 Alphen a/d Rijn Netherlands Gender:	Re: Master cylinder, size ? Reply #3 - 10/19/04 at 08:44:25 Did the measurement for you on my spare unit. Its 12.7 mm or for you non-metric guys and dolls: half an inch ( 1/2 ") Glad to be of service Greetz Kropatchek

Reply #6 - 10/20/04 at 03:17:44 If you go from a 1/2" to 11mm m/cyl you get a 33% increase in line presure for the same force on the lever, the drawback is more lever travel. Clive W

Reply #8 - 10/25/04 at 06:54:37 What are you wanting to achieve? More piston pressure to clamp the caliper harder or a more gradual feel for the braking.

Reply #10 - 10/25/04 at 07:06:22 But as you said, the lever travel will be greater....with the same brake caliper. What if the volume of the KLX caliper is too large for the travel?
