Even though I know that path like the back of my hand, and was riding at a normally very safe speed for that corner, when you put on enough miles commuting things happen esp. Short of getting off and walking the bike a few hundred yards there's not much about it you can do. I wasn't riding fast, and you can only crank up your own light to overpower the car headlights but so much without blinding other bikers coming around the turn. And it's not sketchily lit, it's totally unlit! Out of the whole 13 miles, there's one unavoidable corner where the path leaves dark woods and and turns and runs next to oncoming road traffic. So I not only rode it the day before, I rode it twice a day for the 570 or so days before, half the time in the dark. I do practice, and this was on my 13 mile each way commute at the time. If I was racing on an MX track, sure, I wouldn't be wanking about wiping out, and I for sure wouldn't want ABS. Or maybe I'm just being counter judgmental Well that's a little judgmental there flat tire. Like the Calderazzo brake, this arrangement would limit front braking to an amount proportional to the rear tire's braking force on the ground, and it would completely prevent tip-up.Īlong with many other projects, I haven't gotten around to hacking it out yet, and I've been using the bike with a normal front hand brake. My intention for this bike is to try putting a self-servo front brake on it, pulled by the torque arm on the coaster brake. Last year, I built a bike for myself with a SRAM Automatix two-speed coaster brake hub. The rear brake wasn't limited at all, and the front wheel could be skidded if the rear wheel had more traction available than the front. It would prevent tipping the bike on its front wheel, but wouldn't in principle prevent skidding either wheel. That brake system described by David Gordon Wilson was called Calderazzo. True anti-lock brakes require two things that bikes don't have: sensors that can detect wheel slip, and power brake boost that can be controlled according to the sensor data. It never went into production because it was a bit more expensive, and the big company he was trying to interest at the time didn't want to give the impression that their standard brakes weren't good enough. In fact it put so much force on the front fork blades that it eventually failed. They tested it repeatedly on a test track, and stopping distances were much shorter than a skilled rider could accomplish. You could slam on the rear brake for all you were worth and it would slow the bike as fast as physically possible without the bike flipping. The sensitivity of the system was adjusted by adjusting the spring that held the rear brake caliper back. The rotating rear wheel would continue to tighten the front brake caliper until the rear wheel would start to lift, reducing the tension on the front brake. A brake cable attached to the brake caliper would then actuate the front brake. When you squeezed the brake lever, the brake caliper would grab the rim, and start to move around and forward. The brake's ability to move around with the rim was constrained by an adjustable compression spring. The rear brake worked as normal, but could move slightly around the rim when actuated, either on a short linear slide, or on an arm traveling in an arc.
