Skilled trials Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Recently i have moved onto duel disk GU st. Duel bb7. I have noticed when i do a pedal up or somthing simular i leap backwards onto the brake. is this a bad thing to do or will it not affect the brake itself? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Why do you leap backwards in an attempt to get onto something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skilled trials Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Ok imagine you go for a pedal up and you dont make it. Onto rail as such. So you leap backwards for another attempt. Is it a bad thing to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 In theory, yes, but I've never broken a rotor putting backwards loads on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilled trials Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 In theory, yes, but I've never broken a rotor putting backwards loads on them. ok well. im quite small so should'nt be a problem. ill try more to feather when i land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ft-midget Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) So is your foot hitting the brake or is the brake hitting the wall/rail etc? Too slow haha. and i get what you mean now. Edited February 6, 2010 by 6ft-midget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 never crossed my mind when i was riding rear disc, and i'm a big fat f**k, i think the brake will slip before the rotor snaps. (i was rocking an avid roundagon rotor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Just land without brakes? Generaly smoother and looks better too (so good it can look if you fail a move) One issue with discs is that when the hub turns from the disc stopping, spokes can take dammage, so it will always be a risk to lock a disc brake ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curt-echo-control Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ahh i see your problem now Greg, i didn't fully understand today on the ride. Erm when i was trying 360s on my jump bike, and landing 180 with the brake locked, i found the rotor bolts came loose after a while, along with the caliper mount bolts. Keep everything tight and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moto_psycho Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 drive a car in reverse and slam on the brakes, do they explode? ever heard of it? you're fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilled trials Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 drive a car in reverse and slam on the brakes, do they explode? ever heard of it? you're fine That makes sense doesnt it? Maybe considering on a bike there is 2 small bolts holding the caliper on and 6 tiny 1's on the disk. Slighy differnt i would have thought? But weight is to take into consideration!

It will be fine, you bolts on the caliper and disc will be fine. You should only worry when using an oversize disk on a poop frame they tend to break. Your's will be fine.
