1274597317 one lever, two brakes

long ago, i rigged up a system by which i could activate both a front and a back brake, using only one lever. and despite what WR would have you believe, it DID fucking work. (you just had to be the incredible goddamn hulk to pull it, hahaha!) i made mine by finessing a product called the PRIMO PERVERT — a piece which allows you to basically construct your own 1-to-2 cable split for ODYSSEY GYRO detanglers. it was complicated and completely overkill, but the concept was sound and i repeat, the execution worked.

well, apparently, i’m not the only person who had this idea, and in fact, i just learned that bike polo players have been doing it for quite some time, using a hack at the lever. well, st cago polo works put it into production, and you can get yours HERE.

APPROVED!
