SamKidney Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Whys it the same to me ? Your going on about his brake must be amazing.. No if you can just get your weight right over the front then your brake will hold. Sorry if you think I'm implying your crap or some thing. Which I'm not I'm just trying to get you to under stand what I'm say. It's about spatial awareness and the best easy for you to see that is by video I never said his brake was amazing, its just seemingly a tad better than the others I've tried. I do understand perfectly, Ive been in the situation where my brake hasnt been up to scratch and a little more forward weight over the bars has been needed. I was just saying that, regardless of technique, with the size he's going a half decent brake definitely plays its part, and I was wondering how he has achieved this, as all the setups Ive tried on forward facing magura mounted forks/ urbanshas been pretty pants. Anyway, I'll leave it at that. I'll sit and be jealous of Pavels ability to go massive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty shit on fact Forward facing mounts are always going to be shit. Did you try Coust pads were ok when I had urbans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time Id ridden in a few months and on a new bike too. The one shoddy one I did haha. Im much more commited now. And I havent no, Ive only used other peoples setups on their bikes. Yeah forward facing mounts are shite in every respect. All of them Ive used have been poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
