Just get a deep-section 700c wheel and glue on an extra set of brake tracks.

Or better yet glue on two circles of brake rubber and make the pads out of sections of rim. That way it doesn’t matter if the rims are wet or the pads are wet - you’ll always have a reversed set that’s dry to use.

Where the fuck is pubes to get some framebuilder to lug up a rivenpube with 6top tubes and provisions for brakes with 3 rims and twine, twill, and a Link to a gofundme on a pewter headbadge

“the tririme™ eliminates wear as an advatage for disc brakes over rim brakes, now your rims will last 3x as long, or even longer if you select our artisanal hand-fired ceramic braking surface upgrade.”

P sure the Riv trireme comes with an anchor you toss out of your waxed canvas bag to slow down.

(Excellent name, very good)

I want a little foot rest for Ted shreds.

Or maybe a foot actuated wet dick with the pedal/lever at the seat stay bridge.

ok, hear me out:

a TT disc with a brake track from 549-622mm
fully made out of metal, just some really dense shit
which requires to stop not one, not two,

but THREE brakes - caliper, v-brake, and U-BRAKE

If you have that much metal, it would be a beast to get spinning. You might be better off using it as a flywheel with some sort of slipper clutch for drive.

Why not add a disk brake to that too?

SS brake: caliper
MS* brake: v-brake
CS brake: u-brake
Hub: disk

* MS is a middle stay added between the seat and chain stays

That disc rotor could also be a cooling fin for a drum brake

you can have at least two rim brakes on the same pair of stays, no need for MS

can also have multiple calipers grabbing the same disc rotor

Sure, if you want to look like a weirdo

Shimano solved this a long time ago, the only issue is manufacturers were reluctant to update their brake boss placement to suit Shimano’s advanced technology. Fits 700c, 650c, 650b, 26".

With multiple brake tracks, you could alternate normal and ceramic rims, to get the best of both worlds.

Who’s to say that’s not the v-brake he’s working on already?
