One of the features on the Taj bike is that it has a Potts Mod. This early 80’s BMX innovation can sometimes be confusing to younger riders and mechanics who weren’t even alive back when this doo-dad was popular.

Essentially the Potts Mod is just a way to route your front brake cable through your fork’s steer tube.

It comes out the bottom of the steer tube and heads to this cable guide here.

Then the cable loops around and goes right into the brake thanks to some handy adapter hardware.

It’s a cool way to keep that cable out of the way and also keeps that BMX cruiser look.
