Of course. Something has got to be adjustable no matter what! If not front to rear, then something else.. *wink*

So we're all agreed, top to front, bottom to rear. good.

Jim, if you are planning on sprinting, then you cannot have the adjuster in reach when driving.

It's a bit more complicated for circuit racing. You can have it in reach as long as it cannot reduce one axle to less than 25% of the total braking effieiency.

Hope this helps.

Now I am confused I though we had decided, bottom to front and to to rear???? Looking at Vegard's first set of photos the braided (on the top) went to the back and the copper (on the bottom) to the front.

Well I'm happy to do it that way but the picture is not that clear to me as I can't see where the pipes go. Oh well.

if you want more pressure at the rear than the front, plumb the rear into the top of the master and the front to the bottom of master. But if you want the opposite(as I think most should) you plumb front to top and rear to bottom.
