mat hudson Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 you could always get around the different mechanical advantages required by disk and rim brakes, by having, essentially 2 levers built into one. a specific piston set for the rim and disk brake, 2 hoses etc. im pretty sure that would work. a bit OTT in my opinion though.

the mysterious leemur Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Why not two cable brakes on different cables but the same lever , pretty surey there was a Canadian guy who did that and it was really heavy but worked really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I suppose, provided you used a Vee/BB7 combo, you could use a gyro splitter found on BMX's? Dont know how much resistance would be incurred. I'd predict massive arm pump, added to a hassle to set up to get both the disc and the Vee to bite at exactly the same time. But Vee's are awesome enough as they are. There's no need! Motorbikes have 2 discs on the front Two discs - More braking force with less force put through the lever. Less force through the lever means less force put into the pads/disc, which means less heat. Less heat, less fade - Better brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clerictgm Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) o.m.f.g. is it so hard to make your brake work good? Edited October 16, 2012 by clerictgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Be really heavy, and expensive. Plus in increases the maintenance requirements and it'll cause major headaches when ever you want to take the wheel out etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Reynolds Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Two discs - More braking force with less force put through the lever. Less force through the lever means less force put into the pads/disc, which means less heat. Less heat, less fade - Better brakes I always thought motorcycles did it for less brake fade, as the braking force is separated between two disks? I doubt braking force is an issue on a motorcycle, as surely the limiting factor would be traction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customrider-Rhys Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 To all the people that keep saying 'just set your brake up properly' and 'how hard is it to just set up a brake proper' stop making this seem like im asking becuase im having trouble with my brakes, my brake is absolutly fine and works well this was just an idea that i had, i thought it would be a good way to create insane power, and was interested to see if there was a possiblity of it working, so stop with the just set your brake up right stuff. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
