Is there a rear caliper upgrade without going to the Twinkie swingarm, wheel, and axle?

 

What do you want from your rear brake? Evo one works just fine as it is.

 

I'll be adding a hack this spring. Fortunately I have already beefed up the forks, front brakes, and rear shocks. With the additional weight (my mates will insist that I become the official beer hauler) I thought if it was available that a rear brake upgrade may be prudent.

 

You need to remember that it is the tire that stop the bike. A fancier caliper is not going to make the rear tire grip more. If you have enough brake force to lock the tire up, that's as much as you need or can possibly use. I suggest putting your side hack on, loading it up with beer and seeing if you can lock up the rear wheel by standing on the brake. If you can, you have enough. If you can't, then start thinking about it. Just my opinion.

 

I guess I should stop thinking ahead and finish what I must do now. Damn cabin fever.

 

BV,
I wanna see plenty o pics off this hack beer hauler build.in this forum, not going to the conversion forum.
Thanks,
Tom

 

Roger that!

 

your hack has a brake of its own, right? You'll soon have 2 separate rear brakes...no worries

 

Yeah, it does sound kinda stupid, huh?

 

Hacks are the work of the Devil....nearly got killed dead in one of them things...I was also nearly born in one so you can see I speak the truth....
