ALEX@BIKETRIALSFUN Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi guys I have been thinking fore a bit now. My right hand is my strong hand but I run my leavers like any other person but would I benefit from swapping my hoses over because I have hs33. So would it still work as well by me swapping the hoses over so the front brake is the rear and so the rear is the front let me know what you think to this idea.

But i think your ok how it is. Eventually your left hand will get stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLeacock™ Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Noob looks who's talking!It isnt a argument he has asked a question now dont be perfetic blidy heck.I would stick how you are now. It will mean that you will get used to a standad set up of a bike and not a one off. Your right arm will get stronger as you carry on riding. I say keep them how they are for now Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 i ride with my brakes back to front.......english people fall off my bike ...........keep them as they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 you shouldn't have to be pulling your brake that hard anyway... keep them as they are your arms/hands will get used to the extra work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom jersey Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yes it would work but its so hard to learn to ride with the brakes switched, just leave it like it is and go ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials mad andy Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 i would leave them how they are because if you do switch them over then you are more likely to forget which break is which and pull the front when trying to slow down on a steep drop and after a month or two your hand should get stronger anywaytrials mad andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 i would leave them how they are because if you do switch them over then you are more likely to forget which break is which and pull the front when trying to slow down on a steep drop and after a month or two your hand should get stronger anywaytrials mad andyDont you think he would actually learn to ride with opposite brakes before he tried "steep" drops.

JohnyMilton Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hey when I moved over here from canada, I had to change to Left hand rear brake, Right hand Front Brake, because all the bike came like that, and I found it well hard getting used to it, but I couldnt do it, so its pros best that you stay they wasy you are, also if you do change, you riding will not improve for a while because you will be to focused on trying to use the brakes the oppisite they you normaly do!Johny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
