Someone who knows, please verify I have this right.
------------------------------------------------------------
For purposes of this example, assume 55% front bias on the balance bar and a pedal ratio of 7:1.

Assume .750" dia master front and .8125" dia master rear.

So, if there is a 100# push on the pedal, in a perfect world the line pressure in the front would be ~870# and the rear would be ~600#.

Do I have the math on this right?

Yup.
700# MC net
385# F/ 315# rear
871psi F / 607psi R

Thanks Tito. I appreciate it. Ive done the research and math homework several years ago, but never actually applied it to real world parts selection....until now. Needed a validation.

Thanks professor.
