[edit] Power Brake

I recently bought my nephew a new big wheel, and was dismayed to find that the hand brake is no longer part of the design. I think the funnest part of the big wheel was the brake. Does anyone remember how the old one worked, or have a descent picture, I'd like to try and rig one up for him.

it was just a lever that dragged on the ground

is the handle on the right wheel a brake? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.225.178.25 (talk • contribs)

Yes. It allowed the Big Wheel to perform nice bootleg turns. --Ds13 01:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

I am not familiar with Big Wheels. The photo is confusing to me. Looks like a pole coming up through the bottom of it. angie13 02:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

It looks like the Big Wheel is locked to a pole with a cable. I agree that the photo is confusing. -- 201.51.221.66 21:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

It appears there isn't a photo in the article now. It would be nice if there was some. blades (talk) 20:11, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
