Re: master cylinder bore size

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pressure = Force / Area
A larger bore means more area, so less hydraulic pressure in the system from 
the froce of your foot. A bigger bore also means more fluid displaced for a 
given amount of pedal travel.

In simple terms: a bigger bore master cylinder means you will have a stiffer 
pedal, but will require more pedal effort than a smaller bore to get the 
same braking.
