Re: DIY Bicycle Brake

hehe sorry didnt able to capture some pictures during the WIP coz my hands were dirty soaking and bathing the metal to oil 😀

if you want to make one, you can try to use this measurement for your reference.

Re: DIY Bicycle Brake

With the added weight, more horsepower might be needed. 😀
