Ryca rearsets - updated brake stop? (Read 25 times)

thomasoconnor19 Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 148	Ryca rearsets - updated brake stop? Yesterday at 19:17:40 I have some Ryca parts bought in 2013 and I have their rearsets without a brake stop. I heard they updated their design at some point to add a brake stop. Does anyone have pictures of this design?

I have the RYCA setup on my Cafe' bike, and I built a replacement aluminum clamp with a built in brake stop. It works really well - but it does require that you have a pretty good supply of tools to make it.

I removed the round clamping sleeve that holds the pedal in place, and made one from aluminum that has a bump for drilling and tapping a stud to act as the brake stop. This required several tools (band saw, drill press, tap, files and drum sander) to get it built.

Initially the stop was just the metal bolt - but the "click" sound every time I let off the brake was annoying, and the impact would slowly cause the clamp to rotate and loosen the mounting bolt for the peg.

I added the rubber tube as a sleeve to quiet the noise and cushion the impact. Eventually when I had the location to my liking I added a small screw on the backside to stop the collar from rotating and lock it into place.

The cable is to activate the brake light, and the setup is a bit weird looking - but it allowed the cable to be installed as straight as possible. The inner cable is mounted stationary - the moving brake cable causes the cable sleeve to move. This functions the same way as the normal cable would - but it is not the common way cables are activated.

Reply #5 - Today at 03:40:53 You might be able to duplicate this by making a plate that mounts behind your rearset pedal and has a hole drilled/tapped for the screw that I used as a stop. This would move your peg/pedal out a small amount - I would think that 1/8" steel would be strong enough as the return spring is not very strong.
