......so by installing the cylinder with the .870 bore you get less brake
shoe travel for the same amount of brake pedal travel. This has the effect
of putting greater emphasis on the front brakes. Front brakes are generally
considered to do the lions share of the braking. This must by why the
larger rear cylinders are considered "up rated"?
