l33boy Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Is anyone using just one finger to lock (and Hold) the front wheel? what brake setup are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah. I used to use 2 fingers but it was holding me back a bit with regards to grip on the bars. Now using 1 finger on the front with an avid sd7 brake with a light grind and plaz pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz96 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I 1 finger break all time unless brake is realky shit... And thats for every type of biking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hope mono trial on a 180mm wavy disk. Use one finger breaking. It all depends on how good your front brake is and how much you trust it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I used to use 2 fingers but when I learnt to hop I needed the grip so 1 finger was a must. Now I cant even use 2 fingers at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybs41282 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I also used to use 2 fingers as using 1 just didn't feel right and I didn't think I was strong enough to hold it... It's so much better using 1 if you get used to the change... Get your brakes responsive and strong and you'll feel better about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tioz Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Do you think a Tektro V on the rear is good enough for one finger braking? I've always found vees too hard.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmark Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Do you think a Tektro V on the rear is good enough for one finger braking? I've always found vees too hard.. if you've got good pads and a light grind they will have a good hold so it will make it easier for 1 finger braking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewie87 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 i always use one finger to brake means you have more hand on the grip therfore more grip, im using hs33 with rockman blue on a smooth rim, i used to use 2 fingers on trials i finally learnt to pedal kick and then tried it with one finger and found it so much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
