Idea?

[0nly0newheel]

i think i came up with an idea for a bc wheel it might help to not
destroy pants post your replys or what you think good/bad doesn't
matter

the platform for hte brake is one with the plates so it moves where the
plates move it also might prevent legs from hitting the wheel

what prevents the brake housing from hitting the ground? Is it attached
to the plates? if so, I think it would be pretty weird to ride, and if
not it wouldn't work at all.

i saw a picture, and he said it was kind of sketchy... the thing hits
the ground every time you bail. you may get a better result by
weighting the plates...


i have an idea that may work better and is extremely simple... but i'll
draw it up later.

Im assuming that it would be, I once was thinking about it and I found
a couple Possible flaws:
1) the break cable would have to be long to allow the rider to break in
any arm position
2) if the cable was long enough to break proporly it would get tangled
in the wheel or ware down on the road/tire

mayby if you had flexable pieces of matel coming up from the plats that
You could squeez with your legs, so the metal would rub the tire

Evan did that way back when...

seems to have worked okay. I still think a leg operated brake would be
better though.
