poor man's Anti-Lock Brakes ??

. . . or just a snake oil salesman?

It seems like they added a small air bubble to the system so brakes will work more smoothly.

Gee, and I worked so hard to bleed my system. :roll:

Anybody running one of these?

 

That seems to be just a type of pressure regulator to prevent applying too much pressure and locking up the brakes. You can get the same result by regulating how hard you squeeze the lever or by putting on old rubber brake line hoses in place of braided stainless ones! LOL

 

That sounds really dangerous. I took a quick read and it just seems pointless, I mean why dont we just leave the air in the lines. Ive driven like that before and it is no fun. They must be following my fathers advice "Never underestimate the stupidity of other people" both the consumers of that product and the manufacturers. I need to come up with something stupid for people to waste their money on. Sorry for the rant just cant believe what people will do to make some money.

PS. I will be selling my glazed brake rotors and pads to the next sucker oh I mean valuable customer

This guy coulda used it. Look close and stop the video- - he locks up the front tire. Ride safe guys.

 

Now, now...read it CLOSELY. There is no air added to the system. What there is is an air-filled CHAMBER that acts like a cushion and allows the brake CALIPER pressure to "float." (bad concept)

The EFFECT is the same as having air trapped in the lower line somewhere, but it's a "controlled" trapped. (hogwash)

This IS without a doubt the LAMEST product I've seen in a while. Barnum was right.

 

I'm with BigFitz on this.

The whole idea of Flushing and Bleeding a Brake System is to have New Fluid in the Calipers, Lines and Master Cylinder.
You bleed Brakes until you have successfully removed every little tiny bubble of AIR.
AIR is the ENEMY.
So, comes-along this guy with this Gizmo which introduces AIR to the system?

Does not compute.
Same category as Pills you can take to make your Junk larger.
Rip Off.

 

...and you know some riders will fall for it and buy the setup anyways. It looks to me like a good arguement for a law suit.

 

The pills that make your junk larger is a rip off???
That's the last time I trust a guy named Smilin' Bob.

 

Unless it's PURE snake oil and doesn't work at all. We can always hope.

 

Remeber seeing ads for some cream to make your junk bigger. Just rub it on and it gets bigger. I always wondered, "What about your hand?"

 

I've heard that butter works, but don't use CRISCO, it's shortening <g>.

 

Grandpa always said to use pig fat. That way you'll have a ginormous hog!!!

 

If you want that "flex" simply keep your old rubber brake lines in place, they will expand with the pressure and regulate just about the same way this piece of junk is being hawked.

 

I do apologize for not being technically correct with the words I used I just take it kind of personal when someone wants me to buy something that's endangering my life. You are correct though I should put a product down for the correct reasons.
Take it easy guys and gals
ride safe

 

I think they should change their Marketing from "Poor Mans Anti-Lock Brakes" -to- ""Stupid Way To Get Yourself Killed Brakes"
