padarik Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 dont really need to have a stupidly powerful front brake really though do u , good idea i had same one when i first saw disc brakes................. cheers padarik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman with a death wish Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 do the same for the back of a trials bike and that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) hah, its not very fresh ideathat kind of front brakes are having been used on moto since 50s loland i think no one seeks for such a power braking imho edit: this is imposible manipulation with standart calipers though, 'cause it needs simmetrical calipers Edited August 20, 2006 by jacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STC Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 hey, if you had two disc brakes on the front well i don't know if it would look good but it would be a powerful brake and it all depends on if it will work in fry weather and wet i know some one who has a cable disc brake and it only works in wet but it would be a better brake if it worked in dry weather from luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocks370 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 do the same for the back of a trials bike and that would be greatBut where would your chain and freewheel go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman with a death wish Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 good point i will think about an idea for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 heavy too which is important to a weight geek like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padarik Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 But where would your chain and freewheel go? wasn't ther a bike in the mbuk a while back what had a single swinging arm on the rear ? had the cassette and disc on the same side, just think it was a bigger disc , cheeers padarik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Goch Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm only asking, so don't slate me, but would this actually have any increase in power?The reason I ask is because your finger has only a certain ammount of power. If you have two discs, that in the end meet at the same lever, surely, having the same force coming from your finger, each disk would have half the power that your finger gives, so they would be no more powerfull?Basically, all you are doing is doubling the contact area, so surely the force is halved?I think the reason double disks are used on motorbikes or whatever, is not for the increase in power, but for better cooling, as the heat to each disk would be less.Anyway, discuss.Alun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I believe you to be right, Mr. Goch. Not only that, the setup would be 0.3% fun, to get them to engage at the same time unless they were hydraulic, and even then...Either way, 203mm Avid BB7 - what more could you want?

Biff... Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Nice idea but to be honest you dont need to if you set an avid up good it's extremely good anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 shitmano did a twin disc setup, where the rotors sat next to each other, and there was a pad inbetween, so it went pad, rotor, pad, rotor, pad, apparently it worked a little too well and never went past prototype stages as far as im aware ofalso marzochi/formula made a twin disc front setup back in the late 90s, ive got a set of z1s with the twin mount system on basically what you have drawn is what alot of motorbikes use upfront already, cept they use hydro callipers, nice try though, fortunately itll never catch on since discs are so damn awesome now and that would weight rather alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvil Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 motocycle style brakes Good idea thoughbut it would be heavyierand doesnt it mean you ll have to hav wider forksand also double disk would mean more setting up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'd like to see you weld that front hub together...And you wouldnt be able to mount a caliper on the other side unless you mounted it on the front which breaks the mount.also marzochi/formula made a twin disc front setup back in the late 90s, ive got a set of z1s with the twin mount system on Ahhhh, i remember looking at peoples bikes thinking why the hell do they have two disk mounts...

matt rushton Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 How about a magura and a disc splitted using monty brake splitters and use a magura disc so that they take the same oil because if you use a hope the seals will spilt on which ever you use the wrong oil on.just a idea thanks matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spode@thinkbikes Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I think you can get hubs like that for tandom bikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max-t Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) dude...lol are you crazy? never cut an echo hub apart.theyr mint!it would be hard to weld back together as wel.a well set up disc is usually powerful enough any way.if not get a bigger rotor i almost had a heart attck when i saw that you had an idea to cut an echo hub up hahathanks max...

stiffnips Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Thats not going to make anything better (imo) it's just something more to go wrong with my bike haha plus you would have to customize it to f**k to get it working theres just no point nice try though.

basher Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Whats wrong with 1 disc!? i agree theres no need 4 more than one disk mine holds mint so no need 4 another. but if people dent have these new ideas then things would always be the same and new inertive parts would never come out.
