I know Mstevo fitted his thumb brake Nelso.

It's been on for a while but I haven't tried to use it yet as I'm working on so many other things like race pattern gearing and a different riding style

What did you go for in the end Mark.
I got mine all sorted and bled properly now with good pressure on both the foot and thumb levers. That took a bit of thinking to get it bled right.
I have a brand new HEL long line that i never ended up using that will allow you to run a thumb direct to the rear caliper if you're still looking.

Do you have both a working foot and thumb brake??

I'd be interested in seeing your setup.

All going well I'll be back out at the end of the month. 29th at the Creek. Just going to miss busting my Wakefield cherry this week.

The same set up as you (http://www.sesraceproducts.com/lever...rakes-34-c.asp) except I went straight to the rear caliper with a 1.5m braided line for an ATV off Ebay from Melbourne for $27 ;-)
