Front wheel brake

[Snow Patrol]

God damn its fun.

sure it looks ghetto, but it honestly works just like a real bike hand brake

its pretty diffucult to do, but its really fun.. It supports my weight for tire taps and such.. its just as strong as a nice bike brake too as far as braking power.

i wrapped the extra brake cable around the fork because i dont want to cut it yet if i can get a certain peice to make it fit 100mm wheels.

Great Job.

yeah ima patent it lol, so if anyone wants to rip the idea from me ima stab them in their sleep =)

 

[Jdbug_rob]

i would ride it, but i can't see how you made it

 

[Snow Patrol]

i think it has alot of potential for flatland and park, although its hard to do front scooteflipsbecause of the brake lever. If i can get a way to make this one part i need, then its gonna be an easy installation.

Mines all ghetto and shit, but it works pretty much perfectly.

Id love to be able to make some kits to do this and all that, maybe i can get ahold of buff or something because hes got some good ideas.

how did you make it ive been trying to think of ideas to make a hand brake for ever cuold you still you bars and whips?

 

[I like scooter]

that looks pretty sketch

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah, you can still whip. Take more pictures of the actual brake, like take the wheel off and stuff because it looks like there's just a wedge pushing down on the wheel.

really sweet and ugly, i can imagine barspins to nosemanual pogo

 

[lewiscrampton]

why dont you feed it through the bars, down, even through the hole in the fork (where the black thing was), then use pads or something?

 

[kardes]

looks clean, a proper front brake would be so fun to mess around with

 

[D= its sam!!]

sik idea, looks sweet

 

[Knuckleballer32]

he fed it through the t tube to the fork so he can still whip and bar instead of the cable gettin twisted up

 

[chadneroscott]

hahha sick footjam that

 

[farmboy uk]

Thats dumb, surely you're more likely to footjam without a brake???

So sick john

 

[simson127]

oh shit have u got copper bars?

 

[ScootingFred]

^^^Doubt it, copper bends like a bannana. And it is expensive. I had to learn the hard way.

 

[Snow Patrol]

he fed it through the t tube to the fork so he can still whip and bar instead of the cable gettin twisted up

yep

the cable goes through the bars, and i can still whip and bar and all that, it only looks ghetto because i had to rig it to somehow work without the right peice on it.. but again, it works perfectly.

i'll try to get another pic or a video of it working without the wheel today so you can see it.

 

[Meep94]

you should deff make a tutorial of how to do it and all the parts you need put props for this soo sick

 

[Snow Patrol]

it took me a long ass time actually because i had to use parts from dead scooters
