One thing Ive never been able to understand is the carbon fiber master cylinder covers. How does denting a master cylinder make it stop working? This even happened to Eli before or they said that was what happened. But how would a dent actually stop the fluid from flowing? . Ive read the descriptions of these parts and it just says protects master cylinder from becoming useless from damage. Can someone please explain how a dent on a master cylinder would cause it to stop working. Thanks.
I'd be more worried about the line connector being hit at the body of master cylinder and breaking before the actual master cylinder itself.
But I trail ride so what do I know, we just put protection on our bikes so we can run into trees
I've also had banjo bolts come loose from being hit with a rock. Sounds crazy, but it is possible.

And we came up with:

Nowhere near as trick as the carbon fiber unit but probably just as effective! Devol Racing, circa 1997
