Custom chain brakes

Whatever the argument, it's pretty clever. Not that I'm a big fan of centerpull or canti tho.

I was doing this back in the mid 90's, about 15 years ago, with my BMX bikes. I say in all honesty that I was one of the first to try it out because I was having problems with that little piece of brake cable pulling out and snapping.

It started a HUGE trend in the BMX scene and EVERYONE was doing it. That year, a national BMX magazine ran an article on how to make one yourself. Soon, a company came out with a product that made it easier because they made a special pin for attaching it to each side of the brake.

I can see now it's back and moving it's way into the fixie crowd. Hahaha.
