Benefits: getting rid of a complicated system to bleed, uppgrading brake lines, having seperate control on the brakes. Been bugging me since I bought the bike, finally got around doing it. Some other things were bugging me more I guess, like the suspension. Using the full power of the front calipers, being able to use the rear brake alone. Does not mean that I think i can be better than the system. Question of habit.
Ready kit, slight price difference not much, may be 50 to 75 $ cheaper than the kit. Canadian dollars to english pound, you need a lot. I am hoping that I will like the master cylinder, if not, will have to deal with it after. $$$$
