but it's better than braking cranks.
ok i could've filed that area without polishing but they were kinda beat up.
sorry jacob, they not for sale.

wut

oh yeah, and here's a pic of a real bike you freekin dorks.

Double strapped on the road bike?

How do you brake a crank? Is that some wacky new invention?

ahh ****, i see everyone in here saying break when teh y mean brake and so on and so forth that it got me using the wrong damn version too.

Disk mounted on the inside tabs of the spider with the caliper mounted to braze-ons on the ST. Booya. The next big thing in FG.

i guess i use legs to brake my cranks.

i swap pedals around on bikes.

Like so.

haha. i'd rather polish my crank than have that brake setup actually.

AW DAMMIT!

I thought I finally had a patentable idea.

Am I the only one here that doesn't actually like polished shiny bits? Give me matte finishes, scratches, and dirt, dammit.

Am I missing something? What is the point of this?

Stupid is the new original.

to stop the bike

Yes but are there any extra benefits to doing it this way instead of the other tried and true methods?

you don't have to worry about black streaks on your unmachined deepV's. lol.

Now we're getting somewhere.

That setup seems both wildly stupid and utterly practical, and I can't decide which is the case. I can think of reasons both ways...

it's actually less mechanically efficient due to the gear ratio than a standard disc brake, which is itself less efficient than a rim brake (from a physics standpoint).

i don't agree that most bikes are make believe but i will say that bike is neato burrito.

Did you do that before you read the OP or after? Because if after, high ****ing five.

After. I raced to find the picture.

Nice cranks wonka. I just bought a set from UK, and luckily someone already did the polishing work for me! Mine are
Strada I think.
