Re: The Bent Zombie Tribrid Tadpole Trike (build phase)
Remember these thingies?
Yea, the lil test idler dealies I threw together... Well, not only did I end up makin' more than I needed - as it turns out they bear too much of a resemblance to erector set bits to survive for long lol, got to lookin' at them & realized they were my front brake splitter waiting to happen. So, I grabbed a chunk of an old aluminum yard stick and scribbled a bit w/the trusty sharpie, planning just a "rough draft" dual pull setup. I could ofc just get a dual pull brake lever for my front brakes... but not only do I need a switched lever for brake light/regenerative charging, none of the dual pull levers match my rear brake lever... and that jus' won't do heh
Turns out my "wild guesstimates" were far better than I dared hope, hookin' up both my front brakes & the lever - I gave it some testing and much to my surprise it works jus' ducky! As all it really needs is some clean up & lube (that stuff waits till all's done ofc) I figured what the heck & stuck it where it belongs w/a 'nother thing ticked off the "to do" list;
