Bicycle Master Cylinder

Bicycle Master Cylinder Technical Specification

Are master cylinders universal?

The right choice of bike master cylinder can make all the difference in how your bike brakes. It is not a universal fit, because there are different styles and there are different psi levels for disc brakes versus drum brakes.

Can you use any master cylinder with disc brakes?

Bike master cylinder are designed for specific vehicles and brake systems. So, if you've got a drum brake setup that needs to be converted to disc brakes, or vice versa, be sure to select a master cylinder with the right diameter. The bore diameter is what determines how much fluid volume the piston can push through when you apply the brakes.

How do you diagnose a master cylinder problem?

The bicycle master cylinder is a valuable addition to any bike. It increases the stopping power and improves the reaction time of your brakes by using all four pistons in the caliper instead of just two. When pressure is applied to the brake pedal, the pistons push evenly on both sides of each disc, stopping them more quickly and efficiently.
