williamtrialshole Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 When pedal kicking I was wondering how many fingers should u have on the back brake? At the moment in using one but if it's wrong I'd like to know the right technique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 One. What brakes are you using? Something less powerful might require a lot more force through the lever to make it lock.. But 95% of brakes used on trials bikes use one finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, at the moment I've got disc brakes (not hydraulic) on an Onza pro 2010 thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0jack0o Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah, as said there's not really a correct method. I started with two then went to one finger to give me a bit more control and grip but it's just whatever you're used to. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack I tried starting with two but I find it easier with one I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong which may stop me from maybe progressing in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 There definitely is a method, and that is one finger. You're doing it right, so keep practising it and you'll get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
