Hey, do you have any details on how the brake set up works?

I have been looking around for quite a while now for a brake set up as due to a disability I can only ride with controls on the right hand side of the bar but never bothered with a front brake. Now I am wanting to run a front brake and need to have both controls on the one side of the bar like Tom.

Hey, from what i no i think it is all custom stuff from where he works. If you drop us a message in a week as a reminder i will pass the message onto Tom as he is on holiday atm. Tyler

From the looks of it its like a car. One pedal/ lever works both brakes at once that big thing hanging down is a master cylinder that sends hydro pressure to the front brake and a little less to the rear probably like 70/30 or 60/40. and of course that cup thing is the masters reservoir holding brake fluid because a normal MTB brake cant hold enuff brake fluid.

Tom is actually running a customised Moto GP thumb brake for the rear and a Hope up front. The reservoir is for the Brembo unit that is actually a converted motorcycle foot brake.
