It is a matter of volume.
Let us say you have 1 inch diameter and 3 inches of travel...you have a cylinder 3 X 1 of volume (
oil ). You are going to pack that into a slave. If the slave is say 1 inch, it is going to move 3 inches. If it is .5 inches, it is going to move 6 inches. The volumes need to balance.
So, since you have .75 and that is NOT going to change, you can work this backward to understand that by dropping the volume on the pedal side you will reduce the travel on the slave side.
Does this make sense or does this make it worse?
Try this; calculate the volume of the slave at .75 with 1/2 inch of travel. Now calculate the length of travel to match the volume using your .875. do it again with the .75.
Hey I could be completely nuts and all of this is wrong.
