Paperclip Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Very cool, props on landing those gaps to rear wheel and holding it so well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Awesome! Tension your chain though. The difference in control you will feel is enormous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff costello Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 is he the only one doing brakeless 26? first one i've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 ...Rowan Johns, Ali C, Chris Akrigg, Ben Travis, Adrien Pontier, Nicolai (don't know last name, search "brakeless trials kiev")... There's no doubt more, too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff costello Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 well yeah. i meant people who stick with it, not just tried it once or did it for one video. also i meant trials-specific frames, not street or - god beware - FGFS stuff. (watching the video, it caught me by surprise that i don't think i've seen anyone going brakeless on a 26er trials bike before.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 ...Rowan Johns was on an Ashton Justice, Nikolai rode a Magellan Tucana, Adrien Pontier was on a Curve V2... How much more trialsy do you want? Virtually no-one sticks with brakeless, so I don't think it's really fair to disqualify everyone who ever rode brakeless because they don't any more. That'd be like saying James Porter didn't count because he doesn't ride any more. Plus, Rowan, Ali and Chris were all brakeless for a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macpot Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks for comment's =) I really like to ride brakeless. But I did it because it was winter, and it was a pity to spoil the brake =)) And when the snow come down, I will wear the brake .. but can they take off again if not with the brakes will achieve great success!
