Hi guys, ive been thinking of a better system of braking. While disc brakes work nice they are very hard to make look good on a vintage type ride. And then i remembered on biker build off when someone put preimetre disc brakes (like on a Buell) on a Board Track style bike if i recall correctly.
And although i realise perimetre disc brakes werent around in the early 1900's, they do seem to be less offensive to me then a standard disc brake, not to mention the stopping power they must have at that dametre.
I dont know if anyone does make them for a 26" wheel, nor how dear they would be. But how cool would that be on a ride???????? VERY VERY COOL. Thats what!!!!!!!!
So i googled perimetre disc brake on a bicycle and this concept beauty appeared..... dunno if you guys have seen it, but WOW!!!!!!!!!!
