Quick Question about Magura master cylinder.

Searched but didnt find what i was looking for.

What is the difference between the 13mm master and the 16mm master? The 16mm would have more stopping power right? so then why do some people use the 13mm instead?
Thanks

So the 13mm would have more stopping power than the 16mm or the other way?

The 13mm would on a two piston caliper. On a 4 piston caliper the 16mm would have more stoping power. I know it makes no sence but that is how it is.

Re: Quick Question about Magura master cylinder.

the smaller the bore the less fluid it moves at one time so you have to move the lever more to move the same amount of fluid , hence more feel
