Braking power | Larger lever ratio increases pad pressure - noticeably more powerful deceleration |
---|---|
Dosage | More usable lever travel on the handlebars for sensitive braking and better control |
Ergonomics | Less hand force required - comfortable for daily use and long distances |
Compatibility | Straight or angled selectable - suitable for spokes or cast rims (depending on model) |
Mounting instructions | Mount tension-free; secure lock nut; check freedom of movement. |
Noticeably more braking power with the same manual force: The long bgm ORIGINAL brake arm increases the lever ratio on the brake cam - for higher pad pressure, finer metering and much more controllable anchoring in everyday use and in wet conditions. Plug and play, precisely manufactured, designed for maximum effect.
More lever = more braking force Finer modulation Long design Plug and play Available straight or angled Small parts included
The brake arm sits on the brake cam of the drum brake. It converts the pulling movement of the Bowden cable into the rotary movement of the cam and pushes the brake linings apart. The longer the arm, the greater the leverage ratio - this reduces the manual force required, increases the pad pressure and improves modulation. The longer arm increases the usable lever travel on the handlebars, which enables sensitive brake control.
The bgm brake arm is available in straight and angled versions. In practice, the angled version is often used with cast rims, the straight version with spoked rims. This product page describes the long front version for common Piaggio moped and moped models (e.g. Ciao, Bravo, Si, Boxer, etc.). Please check the existing wheel and brake situation and select the appropriate version.
Plug and play on the original brake cam. For best results, use an intact Bowden cable, lay the cable housing tension-free and set 1-2 mm free travel on the brake lever. After the running-in phase, check the screw connections and readjust the cable. The longer arm can increase the required cable travel - use the adjustment reserve on the adjuster.
