thats prity rad, would be cool if they released it like that..

There is a tiny bit of air in it. They should do this with a set of forks or a shock to show the rebound at work

yehh..cause that'll be well strong....................................

ov3r1d3 (Jul 1, 2008 at 8:49)

you mean strong like say a clear e-13 bash guard?

rigodon777 (Jul 1, 2008 at 11:02)

It would weight hell of a ton if it would be made with the kind of plastic they use on e-13 bash guard..

dhrider03 (Jul 15, 2008 at 19:59)

no it wouldnt. it would be lighter then cast iron. idiot

sherbet (Jul 19, 2008 at 15:54)

No-body makes brakes out of cast iron anyways, though...

As for the clear plastic, I'd rather magnesium or something around the likes, as if you fall on plastic, it will start to break. As for being made of the same poly carb as an E-13, it wouldn't matter. Have you seen how thick an e-13 is? They can't make this brake that thick and still be weight wise.

dhrider03 (Jul 30, 2008 at 23:48)

what are brakes made from then?

kylechapman (Jun 19, 2009 at 21:05)

plastic...or aluminum...
