Stroker?

I wasn't too impressed with the Stroker Trail's that i tried at interbike dirt demo.
only the best impress you, eh?
Are you canadain now eh?
Next thing you'll be buying a Cove and calling yourself Steve.The ones i tried felt ok before trying them (off the bike). Once i started riding them, they had better modulation than any other hayes, but lacked in overall power.
I ran them for a few weeks, and returned them, sticking to saints or xt
Did someone say...
Stroker Poker?

haha, the only reason I clicked on this was the title "stroker?" immediately brought up thoughts of "PIIHB"
now back to the issue at hand. The design is very similar to the brake master cylinder of a car. It looks like a more efficient hydraulic system for incremental pressure changes. But, much like a car's master cylinder, it can't put very much pressure through the lines... hence the presense of a "brake booster". I figure you can get more braking power if you get a brake line with wider passages. just my $0.02

OMG take a fluid dynamics class or something.
I refuse to. My assbackwards logic is sufficient for my current occupation
You try working on General Motor's vehicles all day and see if you logic doesn't get screwed up
Lol, i do work on cars all day long, and its not teh Master design why a car uses a Power booster, its the leverage ratio combined with the Pushing pinston vs Pushed Piston.I refuse to. My assbackwards logic is sufficient for my current occupation

P.S. any Hydraulic brake system is Simular to that on a Car
SHimano has there version also, and i really like them
I am ripping off my brakes to save weight in favor of running my shoe on the rear tire.
I run a beer can in the rear tire.......sounds like a 450F!
did hayes and muchachos solve their problems?
exactly... who needs brakes anyways... trees and rocks are more than enough to slow you down
Running them on my trail bike ('06 IH MkIII).
They work great for trail riding. I really do love them.
I'll stick to my HFX 9's on my bigger bike though (with Danger Boy levers).

define "solve".
oster_oops:in other news, FUNN had some neat little disc brakes on display at interbike...
stop adding wood to the firepit.... dang, you are bored in WisCHANsen.... goodness....define "solve".

That's a pretty crazy issue they have going over there.
Stroker Poker! Loved it.......winner winner chicken dinner!
That sounds backwards.
Real men run their shoe in in the front tire so they can do stoppies in the finish area after they've won.
noted, I feel like such a woman now.
