4 piston dual caliper help

I bought the 4 piston dual caliper setup from hohey which came with a magura master. I find it is so touchy and I cant get used to it. Im thinking about buying a diferent master to see if I can get it less touchy. This is also my first handbrake. I really wish I would just bought the regular dual caliper setup and not the 4 piston. someone shoot me an idea of what i can do without spending a wad of cash

Re: 4 piston dual caliper help

Is it a Magura 13mm? Honestly, you need to get used to that set up. People rockin the single piston handbrake all want to upgrade. You might learn with a single but youre going to eventually want the 4 piston.....put a little bit of time in with it and make sure you REALLY dont want it. Thats a really nice set up.

Re: 4 piston dual caliper help

hmm not sure if its a 13mm or not. Im thinking about buying a r6 master or r1 off ebay. I find it so hard not to mousetrap with my current setup. Its like i cant push the damn lever light enough. Do you think a r6 or r1 master will help my problem or do i just need to learn to be super gentle with the lever

the r1/r6 w the 4 piston will definitely be less sensitive. thats what i got right now but i rode my friends bike w the 4 piston and the magura 13mm and loved it. id trade you any day if you want too lol.
