Yeah, I could never do that either. I couldn't risk getting on a motorbike and going for the wrong brake/clutch whatever. BTW, much respect from me for the very cool dudes who DJ, fantastic... and maybe right lever rear brake is de rigueur for that discipline, but for me, the right lever is the one that actually has to work, like actually pulls you up, no matter what. Which means it has to be attached to the front tyre. For me.
Every bike I own that has both brakes has the rear brake on the left. No front brake on the bmx or dj bike, the stays are that short rear brake pulls you up just fine. I’m right handed, so the finer control to stop slick tyres from skidding on dirt is nice. That’s what it really came down to for me.
They are a good tyre, abit crappy in skate parks though. These look pretty sweet, I’ll be giving them a go when my KHE’s wear out
Same thing here. All the braking happens on the right lever either way - front on a bike where it works and rear when it’s the only brake. My left hand is so uncoordinated it’s basically only good for skids.
OK, I get youse two now... that makes sense.
they look like a tighter version of the old Maxxis Larsen TT, they were a great tire!
Nice thanks. I was slogging up to the trig, but if that's more fun I'll check it out!
Runs across the grade with "minimal" climbing avoiding the trig, then the fun dh stuff from the crest
Perfect. Funny how I had quite a lot of interesting riding close to home, just didn't have the time to explore mellower local trails.
nope perfect side, rightee rearsee
Council legal are the best dj’s. Digging for ages just to have em torn down sucks.
