Correct

Sorry Keith, but this is just wrong. Both MCs are the same diameter (3/4") so 
the pedal pressure will be unchanged. Changing to a tandem MC has NO effect on 
the pressure. Proportioning is also unchanged; that has only to do with weight 
distribution and the sizes of the cylinders in the F vs rear wheels. You'll run 
into this problem if you try to put calipers on the rear, however.
