    caliper holder.

  2. Jeeze, 5 replys in 10 min? Calm down guys, its only the most awesome bc
    ever made, nothing to get too exited about.

    The housing very well may have a short life on it, however it is cheap,
    and can be replaces if needed.

    It rides fine, Though you would think i you're riding at a good pace,
    and you slam on the lever, thats where you would need to be carfull.
    Nope, its when you release the lever that you tend to get pushed off.

    Yay, you are coming here next weekend because I say so.

    With those massive plates it actually looks like a 20" in the pictures.

  5. It looks sweet.

    Just a thought though, you may want to attach the cable housing
    securely to the plate next to the caliper, and then up by the
    handle/grip too, or add another cable on the outside of the houseing so
    that if you do fall and hold onto the lever too long, or if something
    gets caught it doesn't give the caliper a huge jolt. Not that it's
    going to break it, I just don't imagine it would be good for it long
    term.

  11. Yay yipee!

    Bring it to moab so I can try it! 😄

    OKay serious now... wouldn't it be better with some sort of knob
    sticking out were the axle bolt is, not for hopping but just to help
    keep your feet from moving around on the plates?

    That's sort of what I said. Even if you're not going to hop on it, the
    bolts help me control it and I have a better feel for it. It feels like
    I can actually grip it, not just stand on it.

  13. Mind you this is intended for very fast riding. 15mph+ on dirt. At a
    speed like that, i would like ot be able to jump off into a sprint
    without a damn bolt holding me back.

  14. Oh right, and thanks a bunch to colin, Coldawg for tons of bike part
    help, help picking the brake, the rotor, hub, rim, etc etc. And for
    design help.

  15. try grip taping it versus a knob or bolt.

    good griptape will work very well for what you want it to do.

    with a angle grinder.

    On the other hand, at 15+mph you'll want something sturdy to queeze
    with your feet, so you can stay up better...

    Haha, MBC sounds like some cheesy news channel 😄
