Oh the shame of it....... the disgrace....... I've finally circummed (I think) to the forces of evil............









2 x Brake Calipers

It always amazes me the way people try to overcome the fact that they should buy longer brake lines

Piggy you big wuss you gone and got another disc

Come on Rich - the yokes ain't exactly "standard" - so that was the best place for the splitter

I've finally circummed

What does circummed mean??

I think he means Succumbed.

Looks much better with two discs Piggy, more balanced.

I think he means he has finally realised two brakes are better than one.

About time too Mark

Have to agree with Rich though.... Surely a man of your talent can make a less obtrusive splitter bracket
C'mon, that's a perfect job for piss wet bank holiday Monday.
I expect to see the pics posted later

Apart from the fact that it is a poxy bit of angle with no thought of aesthetics and you could have made it so much neater by just drilling a bit of 1/2" square bar in three places.

Then again you have probably looked at that and thought these brake lines are too short to allow me to do that I'll just have to mount the splitter half way down the forks so they reach the callipers!!!!! Raise the front end so the forks are on full extension and then you will see what I mean.


P.S. put the nut back on the front axle as well

OK

I've got 1 x single line long enuff - and didn't have another n me box of spares I'll get another line this week and just have 2 x singles

The front axle is proper - just modified as the thread was getting a bit worn in the fork leg - but it's 100% sound

Well it won't be happening to my bikes, I am firmly in the one disk is best club..

If you put the nut on it'll hold it better on that side - lock it up nice and tight

Its an allen bolt - the axle is hollow and has a thread in it and has a nice 1-off washer by GB. Thanx anyhow
