Ah however that may be, it still requires less force on the brake pedal. You cannot compress a fluid, so no matter the size of the system, any small amount of pressure will translate into a great amount of force placed on its acting area. A 1cm2 piston with 25lbs of force will create 25psi of pressure, applied to a 2cm2 piston will translate into 50psi of force. wink

Hey Rob, nice crank. wink
