This is a 1969 Ambo; aren't they all this way? bob _____ From: Custom Guzzi [mailto:paul-@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 3:33 PM To: Loopfram-@topica.com Subject: Re: Fixin' the front brake switch Your free subscription is supported by today's sponsor: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Is your PC running slow?

People "see" a flashing brake light better than a steady-state brake light. I do this even when I am driving a car.

My concern is not having the brake light on while stopped at a light or sign. I'd rather keep both feet on the ground at a complete stop. I've never been rear-ended (everything but) but I've seen it done and the excuse is always the same...didn't see him. I'm thinking maybe the 4" rear signals I'm going to use will help with that. I'll wire them as running lights, as well as turns, maybe even brakes. I think Signal Dynamics has good boxes for that. If the switched cable has ANY negative effect on braking, I don't want to use it. So, who has the chunky cables, not wimpy. I saw the recent thread about Barnett cables from Charlie. Are there any other vendors with substantial cables? Also, during that conversation a question came up regarding inner cable lining. Is it true that cables lined with teflon should not be lubed? Charlie, you said you sent Barnett your old cable for length info. Can you give us a reference for this length? I can't find my old cable. I've got an Eldo and using civilian bars. I think yours is an Ambo and probably civilian bars, as well? Thanks.

Anyways, I'm not big fan of the cable mounted switch. Even if they do work right, The compression required to work them has an adverse effect on the brake operation. I think a lot of the bad rep of the Loopframe TLS brake is because of cable issues. Some of the aftermarket cables I've seen are really small diameter and wimpy. I'm generally happy to ride without a front brake switch as long as the rear switch is reliable. I always use the rear brake in tandem with the front when I come to stop. I have always mean't to work out a microswitch set-up at the lever, but it hasn't become a priority yet.
