It's a long, oft-repeated story. I have more details in my blog, but the short version is that the 19mm MC with stock calipers REDUCES the amount of braking force at the caliper for a given force at the pedal (from your foot). A bigger MC requires less pedal TRAVEL to get a set braking force, but requires you to push harder, too. Some people like the lower travel so much that they switch, even if they do have to push harder, because the pedal feels "firmer".
The 19mm unit is now a bit cheaper than the 17mm unit, and you can still buy rebuild kits for the 19mm unit, so lots of people buy the 19mm unit, anyway. |
