No way i would spend a few hundred dollars on a brake setup on a bike that only costs $500 to begin with

I had over $3500 into my 50, and mine was still far from finished. Ofroaders will often tiems dump $10,000 into a 50!

I think disk brakes would have been dope, I could just never afford them. Even after sanding my drusm, they worked ok, but my hand brake wouldn't bring it off the bar. I had to use my foot AND hand to bring it off the bar most the time.
