However, Slidepad will regulate the force to the front wheel, so that no matter what the situation, you will never have a front wheel skid or lockup (which is far more dangerous). In an emergency stop situation, you can still lock-up the rear wheel. So front wheel lockup is impossible, but can I still skid the back wheel? It requires a linear pull brake on the rear, and any kind of cable actuated brake on the front (disk, v-brake, sidepull brake, etc). Slidepad replaces one rear brake arm in a linear pull brake system. Pages 208 This preview shows page 177 - 179 out of 208 pages.

We interviewed Brian Riley of SlidePad Technologies the company behind the. Production Slidepads will be available in Spring 2011 follow us on twitter to stay up to date. I really want Slidepad on my bike, how do I get one? It automatically modulates the brakes for you in the simplest, most elegant way possible. 1 Similar to the anti-lock brake system in cars, the mechanism prevents the front wheel from locking, no matter how hard the brake is pressed or how slippery the road conditions are. It captures the kinetic energy of the rotating rear wheel and distributes this force to actuate the front brake. Once the brake pads make contact with the rear wheel, the Slidepad slides forward, which pulls a cable that is connected to the front brakes. This keeps your wheels on the ground, right where they should be, in all stopping situations.

Have you or someone you know ever locked up your front wheel and gotten tossed over the handlebars? This type of accident becomes literally impossible because as soon as the rear tire leaves the ground, the front brake disengages. Yes, it makes riding significantly safer by eliminating front-wheel flip-over accidents due to emergency braking. It allows riders to have a single "smart" brake leve r, which controls both brakes with no extra effort, and it automatically gives the appropriate amount of front brake force based on weight position and road surface so that dangerous front wheel lockup accidents are a thing of the past. It makes riding significantly safer and easier. Slidepad does half the work of slowing the bike down for you! Similar to regenerative braking, Slidepad captures the momentum of the rotating rear wheel and transfers that power to actuate the front brake. It slows you down requiring significantly less hand strength because it recycles your forward momentum. Slidepad works on any bike with linear pull brakes. This patent pending technology revolutionizes the way brakes work on bicycles.
