Thinking of an upgrade for the front, saw these on flea-bay

Not sure if the quality will be any good at that price........

If you can't afford the real thing, don't buy a fake.

ive got a brembo radial master cylinder 16mm/18mm with lever if your interested-bought it off a freind for a project and never used it.the adjuster wheel is missing but you can still adjust the lever span,just not on the move,you can buy spare adjusters from most brembo dealers.i paid 75 quid for it,you can have it for that posted if you want it.

Looking for a 19mm 18 or 20 ratio, think a 16mm will be too small

I use a 19x20 on my 3TJ with braided lines and HH pads, it stops hard but the lever's a bit wooden.

Most radial braked bikes run 4 pots,some with bigger pistons than others,
I don't know what size master is fitted as standard equipment on the 3jt,
The NC30 is fitted with i think a 5/8" metric 16mm,
So if you wish to go bigger 18mm would be fine,going to big can give you the wooden feel like
evil said.

So, do you think a 16x18 will be any good? I'm looking for an improvment over standard, already got braided lines and decent pads.
