Fixating Brakes.

[yamum99]

Okay since im not gunna quote everyones responses im just gunna summarise why im suggesting this idea.

1. It's basically like riding brakeless, but you wont hit your shoe on your wheel and fuccking eat shit.
2. i barely ever use break anymore, because i do brakless manuals and am getting over tire taps.
3. it will make your scooter much mroe solid.
4. people have been asking for ages how to fixate breaks, so i dont know what ya'll complaining about?

Has someone successfully done this? because i haven't done it yet, i was just brainstorming last night and thought of this, because my break is giving me the shiits.

 

[gerkin of honour]

to stop it from rattling i take the spring out and squish it in a shifter overnight and put it back on. it works.

why would you do that to you brake?

seriously.

brakes = good.. dhur.

 

[yamum99]

i hate them, they're pointless. To me they're rear fenders, nto brakes.

i ride with a new a/b foldy and with a deck that short this would be a great mod, but i still need my brake for manuals. but once i get them brakeless, im doing this.

I get what you're saying and it sounds like a good idea but wouldn't a standard brake bolt bend cause there's gonna be a lot of stress on it if u accidentally land on the brake!

 

[yamum99]

yeah, i dont know if there is suck thing as a chromoly brake bolt, but if there is certainly something stronger i would recomend using that.

get a high tensile 6mm bolt. its the closest thing to a brake bolt and 10 times stronger. you just have to make the hole in your deck and brake a little bit bigger with a 6mm or 1/4" drill bit. once you've done that the bolt should fit.

thanks dude, i dont know anything about metal or anything like that. I just came up with an idea that might be useful.

chromoly isnt really as strong as everyone says it is, heat treating can do so much more man.

just get your bolt red hot and dip it in some water to quench it and you will have a stronger pin.

How would you get it hot? Stupid question i know.

fire, you know from a stove

 

[yamum99]

I live in Australia, we dont have fire in our stoves.

 

[team_punishment]

you dont have gas stoves? well go light some wood on fire

 

[yamum99]

Will that get it hot enough?

 

[Snow Patrol]

yes, but it works better in a container.
