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:

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...

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.
Why oh why do I still buy kids bikes!

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:
