whats the principle? how did you manage to make that? could you make it a little smaller so it does not have chancesfo braking in case of a crash?

Principle? Makes the reservoir smaller

He made it to attach to a clipless pedal so you can run flats Makes sense if you switch between flats and clips i know people who use both.

Oh gotcha!

I feel this would make it super tall, and really weird to ride.

thinking about making something like this:
so i can clip it in on my clipless pedals and go riding without having to change my pedals.
what do you guys think about it??

ps: it's probably not the best pedal design but its something
make them thiner, and try to integrate the clip to the plataform so it's lighter, thiner, cleaner looking, and stronger... make a small hole that fits a long allen key or something to use as a lever at home when you remove the flat converters (ever tried to unclip the shoe without your foot in it? you have to hit it really hard to do it)

and finally for the pro lvl flat converter, get a rubber like material (maybe rubber! tup ) so it grips the clip pedal and the converter because clips always have some play so they don't kill your knees or something and that play could be annoying on the flat converter

Principle? Makes the reservoir smaller

How did he make it? Looks like a screw through a socket

principle: it increase the oil pressure and push the pads too stay forward
Looks like a screw through a socket yes that's it
Makes the reservoir smaller
i cant.there is no info space
if i make it shorter i cant instal it
if make it narrower it will be twice taller

Do those pliers handle the weight of a bike easily or do they flex?


they dont flex at all, y made the clamp by folding 2 3mm sheet and welding it to the vise grips that i previously cut in a certain direction (calculated) so that when full closed they dont have a gap with each other

Awesome! I have a pair around but never though of using them as a clamp.

Back one isn't as good because of the size, but it does the main job.
