Unless you live in Holland or another country where mountains only exist on photographs, you probably need Brakefix. It’s a little tool that secures the front brake on a motorcycle so that it helps to prevent the bike from rolling when parked. Brakefix is a simple and inexpensive little accessory that actually works. The jammer strap also helps to prevent costly mishaps when transporting your motorbike or raising it on a hoist.
Almost every rider knows the problem of parking on a slope or a hill or securing the bike on the trailer. Many models have stands that can barely hold the bike even in the garage like the BMW F800 S or the 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000. Placing it in 1st gear may also not hold it. First, the bike can roll 5 to 10 centimeters in first gear and that can be enough to make the side stand fold over.
A Dutch company called Acebikes has now came up with a really usefool accessory called the Brakefix. It’s a basically a simple brake jammer with notches – the metal bar snaps into one of 4 notches and the bike is already safe from rolling.
It’s also very easy to use. You have to slap it over the brake lever and hand grip, squeeze the brake and tighten the Brakefix. And there’s another occasion when you can use Brakefix: when you flush the brakes, Brakefix can keep enough pressure in the system to dissolve any air bubbles left over.
And the best part of Brakefix? It’s the price – it costs €9.99. This little toll may just pay itself back in spades. The U.S. retailer of Brakefix is Wheels and Wings.
