ham2 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Is this just a sales gimmick for the roadbike crew???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespikeyone Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 cool idea would it be of any benefit on a trials iron? sod bleeding the brakes every time you take the front wheel off for a clean/punture/tyre change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 B40RT Posted Today, 02:15 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkdCOFs8LjI...feature=channel the buelle has it already, see 11 secs. Looks like the disc is mounted to the out side of the rim to me. with the caliper attached at the lower fork tube, not off the center of the axle like the "Brakko" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Why? I would think that having dual discs one on either side of the wheel produces an imbalance of forces when the brake is applied leading to instability. With a single brake exactly in the middle, the forces will be equalised and therefore far more stable.

toofasttim Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hell of a lot of complexity to solve a simple balancing problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot 3 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Technologically it's a clever system and maybe my physics is off this morning but this just doesn't remove a braking imbalance but it also pushes the braking forces closer to the centre of the rotating mass which should also reduce instability.

slapshot 3 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 C'mon Donald you can't even begin to compare and you know that too. The spin-offs (pardon the pun) from the LHV will be profound. Besides you woudn't want me joining John in the dole queue would you?I'm deeply distrustful of using $1,000 of technology to solve a $3 problem. I know but I knew you would bite.... Serious bit though Tim if people do stop asking why then we never advance, cunning bit of engineering geekery!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 TooFastTim Posted Today, 05:33 AM Zip, you're a dick That took you way to long to figure out. TooFastTim Posted Today, 05:33 AMI'm deeply distrustful of using $1,000 of technology to solve a $3 problem. Sounds like the "Six Sigma" process of fixing problems. Actually that braking system looks pretty cool. And think about it, as many calipers as you can stuff in there and the amount of braking force could be HUGE. Endo at 180mph anyone???

timmymac Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 might be a silly question but how would you change the disc, would the wheel have to be taken apart ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
