Some more details on the lever ratios etc.
The original handle that came with the cylinder has 43mm from fulcrum to cylinder. And 300mm long handle to fulcrum. That is a lever ratio of 6.97:1 (basically 7:1)
My frame has 4 hole positions on the frame and 7 hole positions on the lever so can adjust quite a number of different ways. The shortest distance from fulcrum to cylinder is 40mm and the longest is 75mm. My lever and Hoonigan handle is 400mm long when at the 75mm hole and 435mm when at the 40mm hole. So that can give me a lever ratio of anywhere between 10.87:1 and 5.33:1. As said, i tried to replicate the ratio seen on the original handle and have adjustments to go either way.
