Has anyone ever tried this?

[Garrett B]

Hey guys i was just wondering has anyone ever tried to make a pvc brake cuz all you would have to do is cut a section out of a tube heat it up and bend it and then bolt it to your scooter and it would be dialed as SHIIIIIIIIIIIIII*


If anyone has tried this can you post a pic cuz i think im going to try this and ill post up a pic when its done

 

[ConnorD]

you mean like a flex-style brake? It sounds confusing, maybe a drawing?

 

[brody01134]

sounds easy but it would prob break very easily unless you made it thick

 

[Rob.]

try it and tell us how it goes, i doubt people have tried.

It will snap and melt from the friction of the wheel rubbing it at a high speed.

 

[DJ Lee]

there is plastic that doesnt melt but simply burns. i forget what its called but its mainly used in r.c. car racing. or i wanna see a graphite brake. also a material used in r.c.car racing haha

 

[Jon.]

carbon fiber?

 

[Andrew Young]

that would cost too much

 

[michaelchavez]

wear down in minutes
try it tho i might do it

Im pretty sure it'd break sometime in the process of making it. i cant really see it working.

It wouldn't break making it. It would either melt, wear down really fast or snap when using it.

well i made it by melting a straight piece of like smaller than 1/2 in into like a curved design and then i melted it with a butane lighter and then i drilled a hole in it and then bolted it to my rup v2 and it doesnt make any vibrating noises like my flex-fender but sadly it wore down like WAAAAAY too fast so what ever worth a try lol sorry for the essay XD

 

[Kroto]

im guessing the second you went to brake it snapped

No, it actually worked pretty good

 

[Devin Parker]

yeah some1 try carbon fiber that would be super sick and probly would work good maybe

 

[Zach Hamrick]

wow, super pumped on the pvc pipe but it came out horrible. probably gonna make another one but more of a flexfender.

 

[Joe Collins]

I can do carbon fiber. I might do it and tell you how it goes

 

[Devin Parker]

sick

 

[Joe Collins]

But I'm thinking of putting something under it so it doesn't wear down quick

PVC is way too shitty to make a brake, to weak and would melt haha.
Nylon or Polycarbonate or such you would have to use, and bend it with a plastic welder (i own one) not a butane lighter lmfao.
