That wasn't an entirely serious comment about hydraulic conversions. After all, if David, let alone a dozen customers turned up at the Metropole Hotel car park for a LCES event with hydraulics, the epidemic of swooning with horror would cause medical history.
If anyone offered Bowdenex conversions that would be different. Doing events such as VSCC autosolos, the tightening of the front cables when on full lock becomes noticable. Using an Ulsteroid years ago, the split brakes made it easy to have a rather slack front brake cable, these damned modern Rubies with coupled brakes are a bit more of a challenge. I've noticed that competitive Autosolo Seven specials, both two and four wheelers, benefit from Bowden brakes.
None of which has anything to do with master switches!
