dual front disc brake setup?? where can I get the lever


I saw that the new B1 I think has dual front rotors, and I saw its brake lever pull has 2 cables from the very beginning of the set up. anyone know where to get on of these? or who sells them here?

I am buying a 2nd removable swing arm cag for some parts and Im gonna sell the rest, and I am gonna try and drill/tap holes on the left side of my front wheel and mount the other rotor/caliper on that side for the dual setup, just dont know where to get that lever. I was thinking of going to the bike shop and having cables made for me, shorten the front stock one if possible so that it just makes it to the frame, then make a Y bracket that receives the one cable from the lever and the 2 parts of the Y recieve a pair of shorter cables that run down to each caliper and where the 3 cables protrude from their black housing I will get a throttle cable repair kit thig for bugs and clamp the 3 together and then do the adjusting at the calipers since they cant be done independantly at the lever like I think I could with the correct lever? I would just used the rear wheel from the parts bike for my front since all the holes would be there already but thats one of the parts I need as replacements.

I cant do stoppies on my bike and my friends cags all will, that will all change soon.

There was a writeup on PBX where the guy did a dual brake setup on a CaG. He used a brake line splitter thing from freestyle BMX bikes.

I was gonna build the same mod myself, but my brakes improved so much from adding my Tektro brake levers, I doubt I'll bother anymore.

Good Luck!

oh well im not paying 150 for the lever then, I might just hit up the yard sales and find someone offing a bike cheap and yank the levers adn Ill try that first. one problem is my rotor has always been bent so I cant have it adjusted to where it will lock up, otherwise the rotor hits the pads at one point in its rotation EVERY time it hits that spot and the sound is so annoying, ching, ching, ching, ching!!! but I do notice that the levers FLEX like a sumbiatch

The B1 lever is the same as the regular Cag lever. There is a simple metal block (splitter) threaded into where the stock cable goes. The splitter then has two cables coming out of it. Maybe later tonight I can take a picture of it if nobody else beats me to it first. (hint hint) I think that the easiest way to do it would be to make your own splitter if you can't find one. For the brakes, you could buy another fork with the caliper mount on it and turn it around and mount it where the fork without the caliper is. Then you could either buy a B1 front wheel or tap the threads yourself on your stock wheel. Finding the disk, caliper, fork and brake lines should be a snap.

Yup I added Tektro RT354AG adjustable leverage levers to my Cag. It stoppies easily and I can skid the rear wheel whenever I want. Only $17 at the local mountainbike store.

cant, busted my stock rear wheel and will be using the spare on the rear. so I have to tap the threads. I will probably make a splitter myself but i will go the the bike shop and look around at what they got.
