Hello Matt Simkins and All,
Nice Effort! And nice machining.
I would prefer a design that eliminated the cable on the side and either used a center pull bare cable or solid rod.
Aero is VERY important and maybe a new approach with a mini hydraulic cylinder or leverage in the fore and aft plane translated to the brakes via a jackscrew.
How about a straight push brake pad onto the tire with a back up for tire flats? (No wear on carbon wheels.) Hmmmm ..... maybe it would push the front wheel out of the drop outs ..... yikes .... not a good way to stop.
Incorporating the fork sructure into the front brakes will be a design that is hard to beat.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Neal
