We Made The World’s First Wireless Bike Brakes

Wireless components are becoming extremely popular, with the emergence of products such as SRAM’s AXS wireless groupsets and dropper posts. More wireless components mean fewer cables and cleaner cockpits, but one area was yet to be given the wireless treatment: Brakes! Here at GMBN we have been dreaming of making wireless brakes for many years, but just haven’t managed to figure it out... That’s where Blake Samson comes in - he noticed the similarities between his RC car controller and the brake levers on his mountain bike. The seed of this idea has led to the most ambitious Blake Builds project yet, leading to the world’s first wireless mountain bike brake, as well as the world’s cleanest MTB cockpit. ⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 0:00 - Intro. 0:58 - The theory behind wireless brakes. 2:23 - Let’s get cracking!
