Re: utterly random picture thread.
I'm sure I've read of an American production bike having a combined brake disc and sprocket. American production bike, kind of limits it to Harley or Indian then.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Probably a belt, given KFB's observation?
I feel like I've seen combined brake/pulley setups in industry but I could be imagining that.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
There's been bikes with brake discs on the gearbox output shaft too, ATK IIRC.
And proper lLandrovers has a drum transmission* brake.

Belt cog, or pulley, would be too wide.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 9:27 pmProbably a belt, given KFB's observation?

Re: utterly random picture thread.
The classic Jaguar back axle had inboard discs, did it not? They must have made thousands of those.

Mine (well, it was actually a Daimler Sovereign ) certainly did and that was back in the 1970s.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
How do you change the pads? Presumably you get in through those 'windows' in teh black subframe?

No...you drop the whole assembly ( or lift the back seat and cut a hole in the floor).Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 8:45 am How do you change the pads? Presumably you get in through those 'windows' in teh black subframe?
Rover 2000's were similar but easier to service.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Oh right, it's just as daft as it looks then
Reason number 75 they don't do it that way much.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Plenty enough of them in BackStreetHeroes over the years - I dunno if they're much use in practice for all the obvious reasons - but then who really uses the rear brake anyway?
RolandSandsDesign, amongst others, do parts, demo'd here on their Softtail Bomber (well you can glimpse it anyway) at about a minute in.
As it's RSD they make it look mega cool with all the lifestyle shenanigans, and in a desert with priddy gurls, and now of course I want all of these beautiful, expensive and really unpractical bikes.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
Would I be right to be concerned about heat transfer to the 'rubber' belt?
