Just how good should the brakes on my Ruby be?
#30
We make our own Bowdenex conversions, our Type "65" had a period set, but they were well worn and the flexible outer cables were starting to fray and collapse. We copied the design in modern cabling with a Teflon inner liner. The new outer sleeves have a black vinyl covering on them which makes them blend fairly well with the black underside and running gear of the cars

They work pretty well too, ok we have all new brake cams and new Clevis pins etc, etc which go a long way in ensuring that a Seven's brakes are about as good as they can be (sounds of hysterical laughter in the background), but I can lock the wheels of the single seater on Tarmac if I prod the pedal hard and haul on the handbrake

If anyone wants more details on how to make these conversions, let me know and I'll post pictures, alternately if you are very patient we can assemble & send you a set.

Aye
