    Thumbs up Levers for brakes

     



    There's a lot of ways to do much of this stuff,to work 2 front wheel barkes,I used a twin pull lever I got off a old BMX bike,it's kind of like this one;

    But made by some other Co.?looks a little def but close,idea is I set balance between front wheels with the cables,that way ya don't have to have both hands doing the same thing.
    OK ,How bad did Jim and his gang beat the others??????,

    Those look like they would be much easier to use as long as they are properly balanced. I imagine braking with two levers on two wheels might get a bit hairy esp. panic braking in a sharp corner while adjusting the potentiometer .
