coo. is that a fixed wheel?

Coops · 13-05-2008, 13:13

How come you removed your brakes, Jono?

Do Gooder · 13-05-2008, 13:18

can stop a fixy (no freewheel) without brakes fine.. takes skill though.

they are great for doing balancing acts when you stop at lights too.

JonoMarshall · 13-05-2008, 13:26

Yep, fixed, brakes are removed to allow a shorter handle bar and for weight reduction. Kinda wish I'd invested more into the bike in the first place or built one from scratch as I ride it everywhere and as it was cheapish (£325) it's getting a creaky bottom bracket and hubs already (got it in December).

You brake by scooping the back wheel into the air, stop the pedals and (severely) brace your fore-most leg, then skid the rear tire before pedaling again... was much harder than I thought it would be to learn!

rrres pect.

i will keep me gears and stoppers. doing that with a baby on board wouldn't be all too cool anyhow.

I'm in the same boat. Going to go visit a house tonight that we've been seriously contemplating. Shitty thing is it's got like a 600 foot driveway up to the house. It'd be a bitch to shovel in the winter.
