Disk brakes

<< < (2/5) > >>

pickle:
i think you could easily use a disc on the rear of a race frame......couldn't see it working on a park bike though......i understand they've made a hydrolic gyro to allow the use of them but i just don't see the need myself?

Wonking things

theRuler:
good caliper or canti brakes are perfectly adequate for bmx bikes as heywood said ^^^
tbh they are probably perfectly adequate for mountainbikes too

drum brakes were tried on bmxs back in the day, but proved to be a blind alley

pickle:
Discs on MTB are essential due to the mud and water you ride through, try doing a downhill course with V's!

as for your NS bikes brake Keef......we can look at those at creation mate!   :daumenhoch:

but just to get you started, make sure your cables are okay and oiled and also give the pads a good rubbing on sand paper to take off any gloss  :daumenhoch:

thecrooch:
you simply dont need them - i've been MTBing for 10 odd years now and some of the descents you come across if you didnt have em you would simply just die!!!

on a  flat surface you just dont need em...
