Front Evolver is crap

[haro-os-boy]

Which way round are the springs meant to go? Something is so wrong with this brake  the arms feel like there's no tension in them

if front silver go on crank side
you can see how they would fork if you look at them close
if you pulling the arm away from the rim ,look at what the spring is doing   it should try to tighten its coil   not undo itself

[Stodgy]

Yep, as you're looking at the brake from the front

Silver = Left
Gold = Right

Tension the nuts in towards the forks (Clockwise on the left, Counter-clockwise on the right)

Make sure your cable is fresh, slip in the inner out, spray with WD40 and pop back in. Do the same with the barrel in the lever.


All should be good!

Yes bru - it is black the right...my mistake as it's bronze but they call it black. LOL.

Front Brakes are where it's at !!!!!!


all the fashion whores will be running them again soon 
a couple of years ago everyone ran narrow bars, now they all want wider again, pegs on one minute off the next, Brakes on brakes off etc.

It all comes round full circle !


a real freestyle bike has 4 pegs & 2 brakes period.


I  MY BRAKES and I'm only 39
