mini bike brakes

#1
Hello, Anyone have any good ideas on making a hand brake work on a scrub brake? I would like to try to put a hand brake lever on my mini bike. Or does anyone have a good idea(solution) on how to brake better with this set up. Thanks jeff

find out what the correct wheels that go to it and they should have drum and brakes.

I don't think you could apply the leverage needed to operate a scrub brake effectivly with the limited travel of a handle/cable assy, disc, drum or band brakes are a better choice if budget allows.................Tom.
