    Default Matco brakes & mechanical advantage

    Hello guys,

    I have a Kitfox III with MC-4 master cylinders and double pucks and I've been struggling with poor braking since I install them ...

    After purging the system several times, making sure the pucks move without restrictions and the pads are in contact with the rotor, modifying the pedals was the only option left. I thought the geometry was right this time, but it wasn't apparently ...

    Was anybody able to get the right pedal geometry and the required mechanical advantage (2'5 to 1 or close)? Did anybody try the Matco intensifier sleeves?

    Hope any of you can help!
    Cheers,
    Jorge
