REAR BRAKE to remove or to leave

[2Stroker]

hey all i am thinkin of removin my rear brake cause it is constantly bending the pedal piece when the bike finds itself to the ground.

i know most braking is done by the rear but i never use the back brakes

most braking is done by the front brakes to start with, get a front brake cable and mount the rear brakes on the handle bars,

what bike have you got?
is it a drum brake or disc?

just connect up a brake snake or you can modify the set up so you can run the rear brake from the bars if theres no clutch

[2Stroker]

i got disk front and back and i got clutch

i never use the back i use the front anyway

[...HOLLIS...]

[twisties]

if you need to break with the rear you can shift down instead, i do that on my thumpstar.

[2Stroker]

yeah compression lock mmmmmmmmm

[twisties]

thats not a bad thing to do is it?

[DoorMatt]

[2Stroker]

not really unless u go from like 4th to first if your back wheel skids along the ground for like 2 meters yeah itll be bad.

I went riding on the weekend and nearly killed myself when i used the front brake , I was on a slipery muddy area and i just barely touched the front it locked up a slid out from under me and hit the back brakes and they saved the day... Id leave the rears on if i was you fronts are used more but loose and slippery areas need rear only
