Troy, It sounds as though you have a trigear with toe brakes. The master cylinders are the same as for the monowheel, and, as originally supplied, contain seals that are appropriate for car type brak
All the recent postings about appropriate fluids for the tri-gear finger-brakes has prompted me to think about what is OK for the monowheel brake system. I'm using the standard Europa parts. My journ
