Anti-loop Device for safe Wheelie practice
Hey, onewheelers
Does anyone know where I can get an anti-loop device. I'm helping a club member (female club member that is) ,get her 12 O'clock wheelie together for this years Big bike meet in Freeport Grand Bahama. The big problem is that she loops all the time.
Can someone please help???!! One thats electronic would be quite fine. I am trying to build one of my own now but it's quite a task!!

Re: Anti-loop Device for safe Wheelie practice
I've got a question on that rear brake thing.
Does everyone adjust it further down so it's easier to get to?
I ride and R6 and I've never adjusted the brake or clutch height. Should I?

It would probably be smart to learn to use the brake on a quad like someone said earlier. Re: Anti-loop Device for safe Wheelie practice
the quad would work to an extent....but it is def. not the same their is no balancing involved.....i guess it could help with just with throttle control and allr ....but i can wheelie the **** out of my 440ex but it doesn't help me on the bike really....just with some rear brake control i guess.....cuz the balance point on a bike and quad will be diff. too
Re: Anti-loop Device for safe Wheelie practice
all you need to do is mount a bar with a rubber thing on the end and measure it so that when the bike goes too far it'll hit the rear brake send the front wheel down.
I've seen them done before I just don't know how to do it myself. I think you can still learn rear brake control it's just an extra precaution in case it gets too far so you don't wreck your bike.

I still say practice taking it up higher and higher. Use a 50cc too! I forgot how much that has helped me. The 50 helps you get a feel for that balance point and useing the rear brake to control how far back you want it.

Re: Anti-loop Device for safe Wheelie practice
you could wire in a mercury switch that kills the bike at a certain level , they use mercury switches in car alarms for when a car is being jacked up to steal rims or something ....
