Small Drum Disc Brakes

Post by Dave Young » Wed Apr 27, 2022 9:14 am

Is anybody else waiting for a Disc Brake kit from Birdhaven? Ordered thru Lang's in October and still nothing. We've called both Lang's and Birdhaven so many times about a shipment date estimate but only get the same answer... eventually. Steel shortage is word used. Is there another option for discs? Is Simon Nuebert selling his design to the public?

That's great. Are the TT drums/rotors different than on a small drum wood wheel?

Yes, re different between T and TT. Different size drums to start with.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
