Through my long and tedious process (not to mention ongoing) of brake upgrades and redesigned I have picked up a LOT of good information and have had some excellent help from some of our foremost experts.

I have compiled every little formula required to design a braking system and analyze the impact of change on an existing braking system. I have put some of that information in a Excel spreadsheet that I am prepared to share.

This is the FIRST itteration of the spreadsheet. As time goes by there will be MUCH more functionality added, help, nice graphs, more user friendly, etc. Currently it takes into account everything from aerodynamic forces and centers of gravity to surface/tire grip and gives pressures and sizes for master cylinder and allows you to play with EVERY variable from disc size to caliper size to peddle effort and lever ratio and tire size, etc, etc, etc.

If you would like a copy for your amusement or to actually use, drop me an email and I will send a copy off!
