<VV> Wheel cylinder sizes

[J R Read_HML]

Well, anecdotal info... my Rampy locks the rears first - but that might have 
to do with the fact that the  outer edges of the rear wheels make greater 
contact with the road than the inner edges - while the fronts are pretty 
much even across the tire width in terms of contact.
Later, JR
