AndreZA Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 The North American Handmade Bicycle show is on at the moment and I thought this must be one of the best ideas there. Hydraulic brake tube runs inside the frame. http://cdn0.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net/2011/02/28/2/vertigo_ht_head_tube_2_600.jpg Vertigo Cycles principal Sean Chaney fed a titanium hydraulic tube all the way through the frame, starting at the front of the down tube and finishing back on the chain stay.http://cdn4.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net/2011/02/28/2/vertigo_ht_rear_brake_600.jpg
david16v Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Lets hope he actually ran a pipe down there and didn`t just use the down tube and chain stay as the pipe Very nice indeed! Edited March 2, 2011 by david16v
Just Keep Pedaling Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 "titanium hydraulic tube" Now why does that sound like its going to set me back a few Sheckles?
The Drongo Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Nice! But there is another improvement shown here. See where the calipre is mounted? Tipped down and forward on the rotor. No 'pull-out' force on the wheel! Very sweet.
RodTi Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Might just be the first time I've used this emoticon... Figure it's jutified.
RodTi Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Apologies for the [hi-jack], but have a look at this simplicity... Anyone prepared to suggest that the length of the seatpost might absorb plenty of trail-stutter??...
Palaeodom Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Love it... don't the high end scott scales and the santa cruzes do the same with the cabling?
Harry Potter Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 How much break fluid do you need to pore in that frame?
Hairy Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 My mind would tell me they either brazed / welded a Ti tube into the main tubes (In my mind the most likely solution) or they have a conventional hydraulic hose routed through the frame set ..
MintSauce Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 This is art... Sorry, but 'Art' is not mass-produced in a factory in Taiwan
