Re: wuts the pros and cons of clutch

because a 50 only weighs 90 lbs - sont need to clutch it up ...

however you can, just "false neutral" the shifter to clutch it up or do coasters ...

Re: wuts the pros and cons of clutch

i think it really depends on your riding style. sometimes it'll feel like a hassle and you won't want it, but it'll give the bike more engine brake, and you can do off the peg coasters with it if you get yourself a STRONG HB.

ride one with a clutch and than decide for yourself

Re: wuts the pros and cons of clutch

i put a clutch on my 50 awhile ago and it made riding all around much much more fun, all around riding. main reason i got it cause i kept looping no handers when i first learned and i didn't have a kill switch so my bike would be a biatch to turn off, probably woulda been cheaper to buy a kill switch

everyone that's rode my bike will tell ya a clutch is a 1000x more fun

may be pointless, but still a lot of fun. and that's the reason we ride these things in the first place. to each his own i guess.

Re: wuts the pros and cons of clutch

get a manual clutch if YOU want one..

Get a 12 bar if YOU want one, get a roller bar if YOU Want one, get a hand brake if YOU Want one..

Don't let the hates steer you different. Listen for peoples opinions then make your judgment..

Half the haters say hand brakes are cheater tools.. HAlf them say that about bars..

Yet 99% of them don't rock a stock bike, so they're already 'cheating' in some way

Rock it how you like it :YEAH

edit: I someday want a clutch. Help me get some 2nd and 3rd gear highchairs up.. Can barley yank a 1st gear with +1 in front, no way im yanking up a 3rd lol
