Re: I got the new single disc 21" front set up and installed today.
regardin gyour question about the effeects of goin gfrom dual to single disc,,,i'll give ya asimple analogy,,it's like a lever/fulcrum,,,you try to lift something on one end and ya have a lever arm on the other end...so ,,if ya have a i yard arm picking up 100 lbs and you have a one yard lever you will have a 1:1 ratio,,ie you will have to push down with 100 lbs on the leber to get the 100 lbs object you are lifting to move the same distanc down as you are lifin gup,,now if your lever arm were 2 yards long ,,you will only need 50 lbs to to lift the 100lb object,,you will have to push it twice as far though
we;;,,,the same thing applies in principle to fluid mechanics,,,they use the same idea but modify it like this,,if you want 100lbs of pressure applied to a master cylinder piston that is 1square inch in area you will exert 100lbs of pressure on the slave cylinder it too will exert 100lbs of pressure on the disc if the slave cylinder is one square inch in diameter now if the area of the slave cylinder is twice as big as the master cylinder ,,well that makes the master cylinder be capable of squezzing /applying twice as much force with twice as much pressur om thr the slave cylinder ,,the dilemna is now your hand lever has to be squeezed twice as far ,,just like the earlier example
the problem with wasp-man is that he is removing half of the total area from the equation that provided you all with the kind of pressure the manufacturer figured out would be optimal for you all,,, this will have to be re-configured i see a smaller diameter piston on th emaster cylinder as part of his solution

hi mike,,,since wasp-man is asleep at the wheel while we figure out what's what LOL,,,don't know what's so interesting ''down there'',,we wrapped up getting all the data to reconfigure the Superlite hub and left hand spacer to accept the oem sensor holder as well as where to locate the sensor ring within our hub,,have a simple solution,,, we'll keep ya postedDuMar said:Greg,
Why do you feel the cylinder may need changing? Is it because you feel it will apply too much hydraulic pressure to the lighter rolling mass and be overly sensitive to input?
