MC stroke length question

[Mean 69]

Since the pedal is swinging in an arc directly opposite the arc of the rockers pushing the balance bar, the pedal ratio changes (goes up) as the pedal is depressed.

The numerical ratio as seen by the M/C's would go up? Interesting, that sounds kind of cool. Have you calculated the increase in ratio?

One more thing that seems so obvious, but it isn't, with regard to manual brakes. Especially on the street. The pads you choose are really important, a good track pad is not friendly on the street because you need to get a good amount of heat into them before they really start to bite. Hard to accomplish on the street. A good street pad will overheat and go away on the track. I currently have Andy Porterfield's street/auto-x compound on my car, and they work pretty decent. You can definitely feel a difference after a couple stops, in fact, cold, I can't lock up the brakes (it stops pretty well, but no lock), after a few consecutive hits, I can. Carbotech also makes some nice compounds that offer a decent compromise.
