Simpson Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 As long as you have 1 finger braking and land with the brake pulled what can be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 the later you brake, the better. landing stuff, rolling a few millimetres, then braking, is smoother, quieter and makes it easier to hold it to back wheel. that tech works fine for everything but gaps really.

Mr Motivator Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 If you've got a nice hub it's great! It also looks cool with the wheel spining >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll notice that the moment you land the wheel is not rotating as fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
