radial master cylinder brake /clutch

[handsomejackuk]

Hi,

I am wanting to upgrade my brake / clutch setup. ideally, would like to go to hydraulic clutch. anyone done this or have any advice on this. ?

brakes purely for easier adjustment at lever end, and cosmetic, and clutch for easier clutch action. was looking to get a radial master cylinder off ebay first to try the brake side, then go along the hydraulic clutch route later on. possibly a uprated caliper setup as well.


any ideas on this ?

If the price sounds too good to be true...
Get something you can trust your life with.
My I humbly suggest you get the brembo caliper first, much more bang for the buck.

I was just going to say the same thing.
and get a first class steel braided (or Kevlar or CF) line.

A radial pump is a waste of money, in particular as there aren't any in a reasonable price small enuf for a single rotor. The one in the link looks to me to be a (chinese?) copy of an early Brembo. I would not touch it if I were you. In my racer, I did use a billet radial pump and billet caliper, but racing is a different catagory. I seriously doubt that you are looking to spend 800 or 900$ (for both items). Anything for much less is not up to much and potentially dangerous.
Look for a PS 13 and an adjustable lever to go with it. Both can be had new from Brembo or used, for instance from a Mito or a TZR or...

Then there are several aftermarket levers to fit the Brembo pump. for instance this one from ABM:

and there is wire clutch lever to go with it.

Magura does offer an hydraulic conversion kit for wire-pull clutches

You are beter off getting a really good clutch lever assembly, tho.
Accossato or Domino for instance. Go here

and click on the left on wire clutch controls. I use the one at the bottom.


or this from Accossato:

the bee's knees but plenty expensive, too.
there are several more brands used in racing, all very expension.
