Can I bypass the...........

......rear brake compensator on my cup ?

I know the cup models dont have the compensators connected to the rear beam but its still there. But is the unit its self set at a pre set level ???? . So just wondered if can i just by pass the box with a straight throught lines and would it change anything regarding brake power to the rear????

No is the simple answer. If you bypass it you'll end up with full braking effort going to the rear. The compensator valve is set to a preset value to stop this happening.

Nice simple answer . Cool. Im guessin its pre set with the nut n bolt thats hold the lever down onto the 2 pistons that go into the unit under the rubber boot

Just buy a generic bias valve if you want to get rid of it but the cup valve does the job fine.

I'm not to sure that the generic bias valves lower the brake pressure enough tbh. I'm pretty sure James looked into it.

I retract that statement, I have a tilton proportioning valve that afaik are good for the job.

I didnt think aftermarket brake bias kits would pass the mot.


Ill have to make good of old one. Its a bit crappy but it will b fine

I have an adjustable bias valve, never had a problem with MOT's.

Now you mention it, I'm pretty sure that James said something about a tilton being the only available/suitable bias valve other than what was run on the cup racers of course.

only bypass it on the left hand side
