Scrambler Rear Caliper Mod
A number of Scram pilots have written about their keenness to relocate the rear brake caliper above the disc; thereby making it less vulnerable to damage on rugged rides.
Following a few developments on my Scram, I believe progress is now being made on such a prototype bracket.
But I would appreciate some feed back about the ideal 'feelback' of the rear brake from other riders.
Are you happy with it?
Would you prefer a more gradual bite?
Many I have spoken to so far, agree that the OE rear brake has a rather wooden feel
and is either on or off, with little progressive feel or response.
As a result of this, AND the fact that the OE caliper is not ideal for relocating it without drilling & tapping the bleed valve;
we are now looking at finding another caliper altogether, with a less powerful bite and/or more gradual response.
I hope to have a working prototype model for test purposes soon & will keep you abreast of developments.
Your thoughts on this, in the meantime, would be appreciated.
Cheers
Rhodie
