thats pretty good, but wouldn't that make the bar really weak, with those holes?Wasp93 said:like this...
The rod should be threaded so we can adjust it as the wheel wears down.
eric magray also made a front brake where you step on a thing on the headtube with your foot and it went through to touch the wheel, seems a lot less of a hassle then pressing a button/lever with your hand.
speaking of eric magray, why doesn't he come onto SR anymore? is he back into bikes?

he should take the cables off it and make a real scooter brake.
yes, but he took it off because it didn't work too well (the wheel had to be lined up straight with the brake bolt for it to work properly.Jordan said:
I still think that the french id/my idea for the front brake would work the best because it doesn't weaken the bars at all (no holes need to be drilled except in the top, which is a place that doesn't need to be very strong), and it isn't as hard to find parts, and it isn't as time consuming to install as john's brake lever idea. Plus, how hard would it be to move your hand a few inches to the center of the crossbar to push down an indiscreet little brake pad when you want to use it, and quickly put your hand back onto the bars after you let go. It probably just takes a little bit of time to get used to, that's all.
...yeea.. I couldnt use it then... but sweet idea. I had an old stupid idea a couple of years ago about puting a little piece of metal like that on the headtube and press with your front foot. but I gave up the idea because it is stupid and I had wobbly hands and I would cut myself with an exacto knive if I tried to do it... wich is not so cool... but good idea anyway.Madis said:Very-very neat idea
Not useful for those who use:
- wide bars - they'd need a brake lever or something because of the big space;
- SR forks with compression (starnut and the bottom cap gets in the way).
ugh... nasty shit hahaStorer said:
