what side do you have your brake lever mine back one as thats all ive got is on the left'funny thing thought i looked at a pic of me about 5 years ago and it was on the right ? so were is yours :daumenhoch:
-
i have back brake only and it's on the right. always has been, even bitd...
-
On Me Ripper (like yours) rear is on the right, on my Gt performer front brake right as with my Torker 360 air, so my formula is race and one brake-rear on the right, Freestlyle with 2 brakes and rear on the left , although being honest I have got used to the ripper as opposed to setting it up that way :daumenhoch:
-
I always run the rear brake on the left, but its down to personnal preference.
-
all my rears are on the right,always did it this way bitd too :)

Me too :daumenhoch:
I like this question, it nearly always gets heated and someone will quote the Highway code and the need for slowing down while signalling and all that crap :LolLolLolLol:
I'm with Tone 7, it's what you are comfortable with :daumenhoch:

i had to have my back brake on the right and front on the left. it was the only way i could do most of my flatland tricks. i suppose i could have learnt them the other way, but i didn't. Tricks only felt right one way, just like airing only one way feels right (i'm talking old school here). Hence the way the brakes went on. not interested in all this highway code boll***s. if that was the case i'd have lights and reflectors on my bike and not stand on my pedals...

strange iove always had the back on my left .feels odd the other way round
-
I think i only switched around when i got hs33 maguras brakes on my mtb i couldnt be bothered to swap the cables around 'so now i use left for my back brake on my bmx :daumenhoch:
-
Back on the left always. I think that's the way Raleighs (Grifters / Choppers) came set up BITD and never felt the need to change.
-
i've always run my back brake on the right when only running a back brake, but if i've had both then back is on the left and front on the right. dont really know why, just felt right for me. or is that left.... :LolLolLolLol:
