Brakes

For brakes I am using a large disc and caliper with a cable to the existing foot brake. I had to find a way to transfer the movement of the foot brake lever to a lever that will pull the cable. It will have to move enough cable to actuate the caliper lever far enough to engage the brake properly.



Unfortunately, the foot brake lever lines right up with the rear wheel without much room around it to mount a cable mount. So I had to work up a lever and rod assembly to transfer the movement more to the outside of the frame.
