Gen1 Front master cylinder upgrade?
#10

If yours is notchy and needs a lot of pull to start working they sound like they need looking at.  If the system is bled correctly seals and diaphragm are good and not over extended then there isn't really much to go wrong barring any damage.


I run a 19mm radial one on mine and it is much better than std, less pull and a firmer feel with true one finger braking if you want it.


Hello friend, i used to research radial vs axial physics parameters and found that 19r ~=~ 14mm axial but has stronger caliper pressure and more rigid feedback. is it correct? can i just take radial 19 from any modern road bike which goes 250+kph + and it wil be better?
