I lately been woundering if it would be possible to do the following modification to the linked brakes on a 5th (and 6th gen)?
I like the linked brakes in general, but the rear I would like to use separate. The front could still operat the rear also. I have the started to wounder if the secondary MC have to be persure feed, as it is now, or would it work if you feed it from a diffrent reservoir whit gravity? If so you could take off the pipes that feed from rear MC to the front and conect so the front main MC feeds all pistons in the front brake callipers. You would need a smaller MC rear but a bigger MC front proberly. I wounder if this also (if possible) would make the brakes more front based? I´m not rideing tracks (that mutch) so I want to skip the linked brakes. Even I was sceptical of them first I do like them on street werry mutch. I just dont like that the rear also operats the front, spechally on slippery/loose sand downhill outsife tarmac. I do it seldom but I do it now and then.
Also speaking of MC, how mutch a diffretn is a radial MC compared to a "regular" MC? Worth the investment?
