  1. 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

  3. 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.

  5. 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

  8. Evan did that way back when...

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