Let There Be Brakes!!!

[volkdent]

I know it looks a little fragile, but it is in fact very strong. Though it doesn't look it, it's actually triangulated in three dimensions. The rotational forces that would be controlled by the "fancy brackets" are already being handled by the back 2 edges of the frame and the front single bracket is only left to handle vertical forces. The pedal assembly itself actually strengthens the whole thing too. I've stood on it with all my weight and I didn't notice any movement whatsoever. BTW, I weigh about 240!
