The Ultimate Brakeless/Front/Rear/How many brakes? thread

No Nick... thats just what the gov and TV people want us to believe. he is alive and he is in Hoxton!

Maximum Deceleration--Panic Stops

The fastest that you can stop any bike of normal wheelbase is to apply the front brake so hard that the rear wheel is just about to lift off the ground. In this situation, the rear brake cannot contribute to stopping power, since it has no traction.

Bollox is all I have to say to that. I can easily endo my old racing bike with mega crappy brakes while sitting down. You need to get your arse over the back or you are going over, especially on a descent.

I have actually got that film in my Segal Box set. Best segal film, though at least with under siege they throw in some breasts to make up for the fact that the action sequences aren't as good.

Can't find the scene on youtube :(

Thing is there are far too many people who ride fixed for a month, learn to skid, think that means they can stop safely, then ditch their brakes. The people i know who have been riding fixed longest hardly ever skid except when they really need to, and knowing how to skid has nothing to do with having good bike/braking control.

since you mentioned that, there's already far too many people who have two brakes riding like a fucking muppet as there is, it just boil down to being inexperience.

Yeah but when you take a muppet who rides with 2 brakes, who then decides to buy a unicack and ride with no brakes, you have a cunt

anyway back to segal - here he is using his infamous meat cleaver stopping technique

I'd rather meet a newbie riding with two brakes than a newbie riding with one or none.

i'm a fixed newbie running 2 brakes. As far as i know i haven't used the rear yet. Haven't learnt to skid yet either so its there in case of an utter ballsup.
when i eventually get a proper track frame it'll be front only but not til i'm ready for it

Well done Mr Mundro.

+1 To edmundro

Someone doing the sensible thing. "I am not used to this stuff yet, so I play it safe and have brakes".

Probably why Segal was cast as a chef in undersiege.

Repent all you brakeless sinners - including you off roaders too.
