So the last ride I took my rear brakes gave out 5mi from home. Luckly I run a front brake. Turns out 30yrs is the lifespan of a stock brake line...I'm sure the vibration from being on a rigid didn't help.
| The switch junction, this part of the line is still slightly connected. |
| The other side completely seperated. |
| I had these Russell lines from my old duel front brake set up. Thought I'd use them with the three way junction, but it was too cluttered. So I just used one, but what to do about a switch? |
| I have some of these handlebar brake switches from some old Hondas. |
| Made a bracket to mount the switch to my brake pedal adjusting bolt. |
| Everything nice and small and it works. Nothing beats a free brake line/switch set up when you're broke. |
McGuyver!!! Love it Loaf!
