There’s plenty of bodywork, so we’re going with a high-rise handlebar! Well, as expected
they cut it cleanly and painted it too~

That’s some impressive skill… I’m moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measuring the brake hose dimensions.

That’s it.
When it comes to brake hoses, considering appearance and contact, I think even +20\u201330 mm is about the limit.

Hoses and wires that sag all loose and droopy are a bit sad, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using TEE-FIT, we first fabricate a SUS bracket and then work out the layout.
If you fix the TEE-FIT with cable ties, the surrounding area becomes all scratched up, so it’s a bit, (,,`\uff65\u03c9\uff65\u00b4)\uff9d\uff9d\uff9d? you know.

At Decoboco, we basically don’t install off-the-shelf finished brake hoses.
Honestly, you often have to force them on quite a bit… and there are bikes out there with DIY installations that I absolutely wouldn’t want to test ride.

Enjoying the work yourself is also a very good thing, but before something serious happens, let’s check first.
It’s not just about “attaching parts”\u2014pay attention to “installing them so they work safely and reliably for the long term, with good serviceability,” and you’ll get a deeper understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s how it’s finished. We use braided sleeve for the outer covering, so it’s extremely resistant to chafing. (Though there’s barely any contact anyway.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you look at a somewhat customized bike, checking the brake hoses and throttle cables might tell you something about the owner’s passion for that machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the control systems are super important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We fabricated the brake master cylinder bracket.
It’s one of those jobs that takes a surprising amount of time.
Plate cutting, drilling, and nut welding
\u2193
Collar turning
\u2193
Bending round stock on the bender and adjusting
\u2193
Welding, electropolishing, and wet blasting\u2014that’s the process.

We positioned it as low as possible and made it easy to exchange the fluid too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, we exchanged the clutch and rear fluid and finished. (\u00b4\u30fc\uff40)\uff8c\uff69\uff70…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
