pitbulls are b@stards to set up, i foookin hate them, boas are by far thew best brake ive ever used, but then again i couldnt get a decent cable angle on the pitbulls to operate them correctly, i do know that if you put the time in they do work well but the acs are the easy option :)

YGT:
I agree, I always loved the look of pitbulls but hated the function.
we would always add or try to make extra springs for them so they would release.

the springs on pitbulls were pants.

the only thing that was good about them was the looks.

lazychubs:
im sure max from rom always ran these as he loves em lol
never used one but got one on me fsx with boa front so shall see how they fare

theRuler:
mixed bag of opinions then!

well i have to run one on my mongoose fs 1. so i will see if its any cop

TwoBobRob:
I ran a pitbull on my first bike when returning to bmx. Spent a long time setting it up and it ran quite well in the end.  My piece of advice for best stopping power would be to not run a gyro. Good ole brake cable will help out no end. Make sure, as the others have said, that the block is lubed (and spotlessly clean i would also say), and the brake blocks are nice and soft.   :)
