|
Currently my trike uses an old model Ford MC (nicknamed a fruit jar) for the rear brakes. It's too big and mounted below the wheel cylinders so it's tough to push. I'm used to it now and really have no problems but I would like something better.
Is it possible to mount an MC in the body of the trike and activate it from the pedal? This would put the pedal at the front and the MC at the rear or mid. However then I could mount it above the wheel cylinders. I know I have to change to either a 3/4 or a 5/6 for improved braking. This one is 1 inch.
