Exclamation Endos with v-brake?

Hi guys
Ive been practicin on my endos for a while now and i can only get them like 4meters.

I was wonderin if thts the max result i can get out of v-brakes and if its a huge difference between endos with v-brakes and disc brakes?

I would also appreciate tips and advices on endos.

That an opinionated statement... and I disagree.

I think disc-brakes make endos much easier. But that's my opinion....

Re: Endos with v-brake?

On my old bike i Had Tektro V Breaks. and i was rocking endos for about 50ft. On my new bike i have disc breaks but i cant to endos long ATALL cuz the suspension is too soft. I know discbreaks will be good for endos if i get stiffert springs. I miss doing endos.

Re: Endos with v-brake?

it's personaly preferance.

i've never really done stoppies on disc brakes, but when i used to practice them everyday, i could get stoppies 70-90 feet, right now i'm comfy around 45-50 feet.

Nice endos bro:YEAH
All bicycles in this movie have v-brake's...

Hydraulic disc brakes are better but they're very expensive so if You haven't a lot of money buy v-brakes and start practice, a lot of practice...

Sory for my englisch

Talking Re: Endos with v-brake?

I dont need a Front brake to do endos. Try them off minis. and on and off ledges youll have a little bit more fun there.
