[poll] What does everyone want in their brakes?

[Spicy McHaggis]

choose as many as you like

Gonna be making a prototype sometime soon, already have some sketches drawn up

 

[blaine142]

thick and have it stick up really high! short

thick and have it stick up really high!

that sounds totally normal
next thing youll want is for it to be bendable

Something that my foot can stay on. I have a Blade brake and a Razor brake on each of my scooters.

The Blade is good but in order to get the full potential I'd have to machine it, plus the flat spot on top is awkward for my foot. Because I manual a lot it makes my back wheels very square.

The Razor fits nice and snug against the wheel, but its slowly wearing through, and the top is very slippery for my foot. I also find myself stepping on it when I fakie more often than my Blade brake.

Thick, small, low.

 

[conordavidson]

Small as fuck. Fits 110s. I want it so it keeps my foot from hitting the back wheel and you won't hit it by accident. I want it tight against the edges so it doesn't rattle and it stays tight. It doesn't need to be too thick as long as it won't bend/break. Perfect break right therrr.

 

[konowaluk]

small thats all

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

keep it coming guys this is helping out alot.

[daltonkennon]

i definitely think it should sit high too.
be thick, and not really that long.

 

[Joe Riley]

fits 110s
small, ends over the middle of the wheel
thick so it doesnt brake
maybe a design or pattern on the bottom, like micros and blades?
NOT rattly at all
strong

 

[Josh N.]

light, short, and LOOKS GOOD. thats most what i care about

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

ok well im gonna go for function not looks. ill most likely have some prototypes out by summer, with my super secret part also

 

[razorfanatik54]

like. traction lines machined into it, like a blade break, but razor shape, and real thick.

function? the brake is like the one part you don't want to work. i think it should be high enough to be able to press down a bit but not enough to actually hit the wheel. i voted for light as well. idk if you could do this but make it thicker towards the middle, and thinner towards the end.

and make it so the pin holes don't ovalize.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

ya thats what i was thinking about that, but i dont think im gonna do anything machined yet until i get a product that works to my needs and the people that are gonna test it. (Please do not ask to test) There is not gonna be anything for a while as i have said before.

And Jordan dont worry i have an idea about that

 

[JSkillet26]

am i supposed to be using my brake for something besides stopping?

 

[reuben furzedown]

yes manuals and other weird invented tricks that i do Not Know about.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

people use their brakes for a bunch of things, tire taps, abubuka and fufanus, manuals(some people do)

 

[Matt Money]

i want a brake that continually wears the wheel to a point rather than a square. I think that other madd brake is machined to do that. i also dont like a lot of room between the wheel and the brake.
