Tricks and Skids

more people dont because the caliper gets in the way? and also because of having a quill stem.

that or didn't think it would work since the caliper isn't exactly designed for that, also it's fixed wheel, they already have a brake in the first place.

:p

:P

wtf i thought you where in a test?

Tell me more about that caliper Lurker!

I thought my name wasn't very fitting anymore, so I've been updated!

The caliper is just a standard road one from an old Pug. I flipped the cable routing so that the cable comes in from the bottom instead of the top (easy enough to do as it's just two nuts to undo). Et voila, a barspinable front brake.

hahahaha

Thanks for the input kyle!

STFU BITCH

Fixed haha

your welcome

Ted dropping some next level fixed freestyle shizzle. I think these are photos of the photographer and cameraman doing their thing, not actual final images.

I wonder what Ted would be like on a BMX?!

Fuuck that's yuge. Phil you got a plug yet?

New wheels coming soon to a stair set near you....... :p

He's handy though a better skater..

His brother Tom is pretty shit hot on a bmx, mad g-turn skillzzz.

Yeah those g-turns were unbelievable!

Word.

Wow, this thread really is dead!

Because it's shit.

Woah, steady there. Who are you anyway?!

I need a serious answer. My friend who rides with a rear disc has broken THREE of them skidding. I also ride with a rear disc, and don't want it to break. Is skidding worse for track discs than it is for other wheels? I have no problem with not skidding but obviously I just want some clarity on the whole thing. He is quite a bit taller/heavier than me

Yes. Skidding breaks disc wheels. They are not designed for that. Stop breaking all the disc wheels.

Serious answer is obvious, as said by poopooface.

What disc wheel do you have? If its a track disc it will be tubular (dont think they make clincher track discs that dont cost grands) and you should not skid on it. I have a clincher road disc converted to fixed and it feels solid but I very rarely skid with it and if I do, I try to put as much weight forward as to lower the resistance pressure on the hub itself. Im quite skinny which is also a bonus.

My 2p of advice, don't bother with a tubular disc for riding brklz daily, its only gonna break and make you cry. Sell the disc, get a nice wheelset. If you have a fixie disc, you will also prob want a trispoke on the front for mega slave points too so get one of those first. DYR an buy a clincher road disc on ebay etc. then convert using a spnk fixxer and only use it for special occasions aka spfg rides or other hhslave rides.

just dont skid on a disc. the hub will unbond from the carbon or the forces involved with skidding will force the whole thing to shatter into 1,000,000 pieces
