I saw some guys from a stunt team recently in Maryland and one of them had a home made kit he said cost like $10 and took him no time to hook up. He used bmx/bicycle cable and lever, and then a home made bracket.

I jimmy rigged a line the other day but went straight from the lever down to my foot brake (I thought it was a good idea at the time) but the cable broke when I turned the handlebars too far.

My question is this, If I have the lever and the cable, does anyone know how to fabricate the bracket portion? If you do, detailed info would be helpful.

Thanks!

 

yea I made mine for like 30 cents outta pocket took the brake leaver and cable off one of my pedal bikes then picked up a hose clamp at the hardware store its pretty ghetto but it works really good I use it all the time had it on there 3 weeks hasnt broken yet I'll get pics and post em for ya requires two fingers minimum to clamp down on it though I will get the 50stunt ext brake arm in the future to get more leaverage outta it though

 

If you could post the pics that would be tight, thanks man. If the pics are good enough I should be able to just mimic your setup.

C'mon now... chop chop... go get those pics!

Oh yah, thank you!

 

i'd love to see the hose clamp setup!

Don't really want to weld onto my brand new fiddy.. Also don't wanna get ripped off paying for a kit

 

i built mine at home, you'll need a bandsaw, a drill, a tap set and a few screws adn bicycle clamps

you'll weld 2 flat rectangles together, in an "L" shape, tehn brace it by welding a triangle to each piece rith in the 90 degree joint to brace it, then drill holes through it to your frame , tap them to M6 x 1.25 adn get some metric bolts and mount it up,

then i welded a flat piece with a bicycle cable clamp to the brake arm... it's pretty simple if you look at it

 

Here ya go it works and I did it the first day I got my fiddy

 

I think your just better off to buy the 50stunt one it well work so much better then the home made ones

 

ya, but that costs money..

within a week or so im gonna put my dyno clamp and handle bars on my 50, plus make a homemade hand brake

Shoulden't cost much of anything.. $7 for aluminum, and however much controls are gonna be :YEAH
