tis wat i do now after all my testing.

e bar SHOULDN'T be bend at all, bending it will onli worsen e braking.

keep it straight, BUT however by making e bar straight, u'll not be able to connect it to e footrest.

so u need a LONG screw, some spacers, few nuts.

insert e screw into e footrest. (there'll be a hole, which is suppose to b for e bar) add e spacers into e screw, finally e bar at e end, den sercue it with e nuts.

so how much of the braking can be recovered?

anyway if we were to add such a long screw...wont the screw bua the side of yr ankle?

[LollyPoP]

slightly betta than e 'bending' method.

cos when u bend e bar, after a while, u'll notice tat onli e bar nearer to e footrest will move when e rear brake is press.

i oso dun koe Y.

 

e screw must be just nice, so tat onli abit of e end will come out, just enough to tighten with a nut.

i oso dun koe how to tell e mec, just explain to them lor.

hey guys.. heard from a fren tat installing racing footrest it easily bend ah? and it will break? is that true... i wanna change but a lot of negative comment about this leh... how ah??

[LollyPoP]

easy to bend or not depends on how it fall.

easy to break or not oso depends on how it fall.

 

e JB ah boy so-called 'un-breakable' POP rearset.

i've not tested it myself, but i believe EVEN if it is un-breakable, when there'll bound to have deep deep scratches when accident.

[LollyPoP]

i tell u ah...

for fixing rearset, betta dun go JB ah boy do, got bad exp. there myself.

 

Y? cos for x-1, drilling is required but no welding needed.

might take some time & patience for it.

 

my exp for e rearset at JB ah boy:

1) footrest got scratches from e fixing.

2) they didn't bother to do up my rear brake, just fix it back & tat's it!

3) no brake light!

4) e brake lever will not bounce back ot original position when press, instead it stay down!

5) suppose e brake lever will onli have a allowance to move (up & down)

but mine NO!! can move all e way up... -.- had to drill a screw into e bracket to stop e lever from moving up...

 

in e end, had to return back to them for them to fix it.

& guess wat?

for no.4, they just tie a spring to allow it to bounce back. -.-

for e rear brake thingy, they just told mi it's e best liao le, there're worse kinds than mi.!!!

for no.2, they add a pump for my brake, stock ones cannot use.

in e end, had to pay again. 4got how much liao le!

sctraches oso bo bian, had to live with it!

[sLapshock]

then which shop do PERFECTLY for footrest?

my experience frm ah gua lane Hou Heng

 

i bought the footrest from a fellow forumer

supposed to be a imported thailand set for X1

after stripping out my stock footrest then the mech told me the set i have is for Wave125

anyway he went ahead to fix up the footrest

as i mentioned in other threads before...rear braking efficiency left ard 10% of original

went back a few times to the shop after i thought of new ideas to mod the braking rods etc...still cant improve the braking (i guess this is the norm for racing footrest on bikes w/ rear drumbrakes)

 

the way the mech fixed up my rear brake is he bent the original braking rod, rotate the rear drum until the bracket to screw the rod is facing upwards

the similar thing w/ lollypop's experience is rear brake not connected to brakelight as well (anyway no point putting light for rear brake since it doesnt work)

so i guess worksmanship wise this shop is abit better than jb ah boy...but then waiting time is damn long

[Gresini]

just $0.02, is it becos the stock lever is much longer than race lever? maybe can study rxz to improve braking power?
