under $40 home made hb ttr50

potassium26 · 11-11-2007, 04:49 PM

go to a bike shop and buy 2 brake levers the ones i bought were $16 each. make sure at leaste one has a 2 piece mount.one will go on the handle bars and one on the swingarm.go to wallmart and buy bike fix brake cable set.it was $5.and go to a hardware store and get 2 nuts at least 1 locking.you will need to cut the plactic thats over the brake cable down to size.run your cable place cable through lever on swing arm and pinch cable between nuts at the end of the brake disc lever.i can lock my tire up with this setup.

i ran a bmx cable also and i found the problem is were the cable stop is on the swing arm bunches up the outer part of the cable and takes away from power 50 stunt hb cable locks in to the billet piece and is alot stronger!!

Thats cuz the cable wire is way to thin, motorcycle brake cables are way thicker so they don't stretch and snap.

Well lower you price so people can afford to buy yours . 25$for the cable 14$ for the lever ='s 39$ . So 60$ for the little aluminum perch & clamp ?

And don't think i'm a hater , i bought pegs & a rear sprocket & 88 kit ,12 bar from you .

Below is my home-made handbrake set-up , those other home-made ones posted are ghetto .
