Yeah I was looking at them and there is that kind and the square resi type I found one like that for 69$ just waiting to get the ok from my accountant (wife) before I purchase.


Insert witty comment here.

Newb/squid whatever question

How many piston is a stock f4i foot brake caliper? I ask because i'm trying to set up a hb using a junction valve and a 07 r6 radial master and i'm wondering if it will be hard as a rock with no feel or more squishy.

Stock F4i is a 1 piston. It is great for a footbrake.

If you were using the 16mm R6 Brembo master to the F4i footbrake directly it would be rather firm. I don't know how that works out with a tap in but would love to know.

Well looks like im not going to run a junction valve then.

It will have a good feel with pretty decent stopping power. Not stiff at all. I have a r1 Brembo hooked up to a junction valve with a 1 piston caliper on my 400ex that is very similar to the f4i and it's perfect! It's a good entry level economic way to learn handbrake and you can upgrade later....

What is the difference between the 190 & 195 magura?
