brake
A small thing but useful.
A trike it is not still, it's enough the minimal slope and it goes, then a brake by hand becomes indispensable.
This is a possible solution.
The idea has been to use the existing V brake by means of one grip handle, the only problem is that in order to activate the brake it takes a little of time.
Turning a threaded bar we pull a cable that interferes with the normal
cable of the rear V brake.
In order to block you must turn it over a long time, because the thread
is fine in order to act you need twenty or so
turns! Using a lever with a
release it could be
faster.
First of all watch the photos that are self-explanatory.

A
piece of V brake, of low quality, is shortened and drilled to fasten a
cord that comes from the grip handle and the threaded
bar. The lever
is mounted on a hinge for brakes, recovered, with relative
pierced
plate that hold the spring, thus that it can turn remaining in
tension. To this point, through the
pierced support of the brake
pad, will pass the cord of the rear brake control whit a stop made by a
dice “drilled” and lock nut.
Turning
the grip handle the bar is unscrewed and the cord is pulled, the lever
turns and it is leaned on the dice and fixed lock nut on the cord of
the posterior brake that, finally, pulling itself, will block the wheel.
