Message	...and I didn't supply the *small* fact that the ST-40 uses tapered pistons. Any retard who has ever installed a ST-40 knows this. The piston size differences are very visible. Surprised it didn't come up. To make matters worse, the numbers used in this thread are rounded up or down in random fashion. One must use the proper amount of significant digits when calculating a ratio percentage...or anything for that matter. 355mm does not equal 14 inches, nor does 332mm equal 13. Convert the numbers properly, plug in any arbitrary number smaller than the 38mm for the second piston, oh like, say, 35mm, and see what happens to the front/rear bias. Even with this flawed calculator, the results are still funny. ST-22 uses a 38mm piston. Calculate the numbers yourself if you're using a a 332 in the back. It gets better. /thread
