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 |

There have been a lot of complaints of internal piston leaks from the chinese 19mm master cylinders. Waiting for the Krusty one to add on his view of the chinese copies... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
I wouldn't trust my brakes to a master cylinder with terrible QC. a new ATE 19mm MC isn't that much money, and sometimes good used one's pop up in the classifieds. I personally like the feel of the 19mm over the 17mm, but again, it's all about personal preference. |
