Title: Totally new brake design!!!
Post by: Matno on January 17, 2006, 02:31:47 am

Oh man, this sounds painful. Look at the description for this wheel - specifically what type of brakes it can be used with!

Ouch!

All I can say is I don't wanna know why you're looking up THAT word on E-Bay. [smiley=laughing.gif]

Keep it in the bedroom, Matt. [smiley=laughing.gif]

What's wrong with looking up "rear wheel"? ;)

No really, I was interested in the wheel until I realized it was a 24" wheel...

So he went from a capital "C" to a small "s"...

One caveat is that you must be on a very. very exciting ride to use that type of braking device. My guess is it's a one`use only type of design. Unless you use an "artificial" version, which is what the Betty's would use.

good find
