Master Cylinder 17mm or 19mm Options

[kbrunk1]

OK my MC is leaking at the piston side.
Do most folks go with the $100 19mm MC or pay more for the 17mm one?

I assume you can not get rebuild kits for the 17mm correct?
I kind of like the idea of keeping the 17mm one but am on a tight budget.

Thanks Ken

i really like the "feel" of the 17mm. i like the modulation and feed back. with that said, i am in the middle of changing my brakes. i am going to the bigger bmw front calipers and replacing the proportioning valve with a T. so i may be forced to go with the 19mm master cylinder to regain what i like about the 17. we'll see.

if the feel of the brakes wasnt important to me, i would probly save the dough and go with the 19mm. if i wasnt making any changes and keeping the stock brake configuration, i would save up for the 17mm.

but if money is tight why not just go for a 19mm and see what you think? if you dont like it, keep your eyes open for a good used 17mm. i might have a 17mm available here pretty soon... i have seen some knock off 19mm on ebay for 65 bucks shipped.
