Well I was wondering if I should buy a rear brake kit, Or should I just continue to use the foot brake...Any feed back on the pros and cons on this subject would help me out.

Thanks

i made my brake for under 25 bucks, and a little ghetto engineering. middleschooler proves that a handbrake isn't needed, but i am not comfortable w/o one.

giger

Care to share how ya made it? I would reather make my own if i could...

use the back brake until ur think ur ready to switch. id learn that before anything.

I was gonna buy/build one but I voted against it. Im gonna learn to kill it without one. True style

why not get one? so you can look like a hero on stuntlife call it cheating call it whatever you want, it won't change my mind.

I bought the 50 stunt rear hand brake and put it on my bike (just like yours)
It works pretty well but youre not coming to a screeching hault with it..
I still cant ride a wheelie for crap though. But thats not its fault.

I've been riding the 107's like crazy and have pretty much parked the smaller ones. The 107's have so much more torque and suspension..
I wish I could move the hand brake over but the 107's have hydraulic disc and the manual clutch lever would be in my way... A tumb brake would be cool.. Kinda like a hot start button on a big fourstroke.

uhh teddy........i would get one but.I HAVE NO MONEY....not tryin to look like a heroe

I never called it cheating nor would I make fun of you for using one. Im just not going to buy one unless I think I really need it. Right now, I dont need one.

COWFIDDY

i love mine. i just like the fact that im not going to fall on my head doing high chairs. i dont care how good we think we are, we all still crash. so i say buy one for safety. has anybody ridden in the wind?

wasn't aimed at you at all. and i didn't mean to pick you out of the crowd dopestar. just stating my didn't mean for you to take it personally.

DopeStar

I didnt take it personally I just didnt want anyone on here thinking I wanted to be a SL super hero, hell I cant wheelie for more then a couple hundred feet yet.

i disagree, i've had teh rear wheel stay spinning too fast when the rear comes down, and the bike spit out from underneath me funnny thing to see
