switching brake sides - Bicycle Stunters

MikeM · 12-09-2003, 09:48 PM

I have my front brake on the right side and my rear on the left on all my bikes. ever try that?

Frogger · 12-09-2003, 09:51 PM

naw, i thought about it to get used to the streetbike/dirtbike set-up, but i dunno, I'll panic one time and pitch myself over the handlebars, lol.

That's how bikes outside of United States are set up.

Easy to do, just need to switch cables to have thelonger one for the back brake...

im thinking about switching the brake lines so that i will have a brake for doing spreaders and then i will have a foot brake for no handed endos.......come on i know a no handed endo would stir up some shit for sure, no?

Frogger · 12-09-2003, 10:22 PM

you would havta have a really stiff dampener, or the front wheel locked in place!

Wheelie Boy · 12-09-2003, 10:40 PM

you can do a no handed endo on a bmx bike, just be sure you make out ur will before you do so

rlk6494 · 12-09-2003, 10:54 PM

Wheelie Boy · 12-09-2003, 10:55 PM

you can do nohanders on a bike, just put your foot in the wheel/forks and let go.

i heard that guy is now rolling them for liek 40 feet.

Im from outside US (Denmark), still our bikes are set up just like you'r americans. Front brake left, rear brake right. Anyway I switched the cables, just to see if I would be able to do endo's with my right hand too. Once I rolled out those just as good as I used to with my left hand, I switched the cables again.

One can get confused tho, a few days ago I fell onto my back grabbing my front brake as hard as I could, while going over in a wheelie. I was used to my moped where left hand=rear brake

900 Fury · 12-11-2003, 09:46 PM

Hmm thats a good idea, cuz I'm used to doin endos on a streetbike, front brake is on the right
