[wozzerwozzer1]

Front brake, right hand, end of argument. All those who say on the left are wrong. So there, get over it.

[manabiker]

@wozzerwozzer1 motorcycles have the front brake on right, clutch on left, so most motorcyclist like me have the front brake on the right, rear brake left, I'm right handed so better control too, being right handed I want to keep my rear shifter on the right.

Bikes are set up different for different countries too, it's not right but manufactures think the rear brake is the most important, so they put that on the opposite side of the hand you would use to signal a turn.

[WIA2IDAFG]

Right Rear. It has always been that way from my experience.

[eddiebelfast]

NB. the front brake lever is always on the right hand side ot the handlebars. Not on the left as this person is stating!

[SuperKingMonkey]

hogwash. what country are you talking about? FRONT BRAKES ARE ALWAYS ON THE LEFT, dude.

[eddiebelfast]

I have ridden bikes for 61 years. In Uk, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and N.Z, All on the right hand side. I have ridden Motor bikes for over 50 years, front brake on the right hand side. I rode a bike in the US 45 years ago, no front brake. I would hazard a guess that more countries have it on the right side than don't.

[dicksplatts007]

@eddiebelfast it is in the UK but not in the USA

[CrazyKelstonTeens]

[funy68]

My Disc Brakes are real loose :{

[insanitylevel99]

there is a Allen bolt on the inside of the caliper. look through the rim from the side with out brakes and you will see it, just tighten those if they are avid there is a red nob thing you can do it by hand.

[jakex4]

!!! Noobs at work !!!

You can't change the tension of a hydraulic brake, like in this video, the magura marta.

The screw of this brake just holds the cable to the brake lever.

So you can't change something, turning this screw.

most people are right handed. why use right hand for front wheel, most of the time were using right hand.. more power at the rear brake using righthand..

[holkemann]

In the UK it's that way.

[importsXsuck]

some higher end bikes have hydraulic disc brakes.

[flixdat]

she has the same grips as my bmx lolz

[RallyMotoXfan]

haha its weird that the brakes are the wrong way round....or the right way round?

who knows lmao

(im uk =P )

[rustypirat3]

in Britain, the left is the back and right is the front. they are also reversed in France, i rented a bike once it nearly killed me lol

[samopollo]

Is it the other way round in the USA then?

well, you learn something everyday :D

[RallyMotoXfan]

[hawaiiancookie]

[ajokuro72]

[chrisb75]

That bike is running disc brakes, so there is ZERO shortage of cables running everywhere, not to mention the housing.

[allth3s4me]

[livelongpartyhard]

omg look at her arms SHES jacked for a girl

[myxaztv2]

@livelongpartyhard shes fat not jacked bud ilmao

[Jpmadore1]

Everybody just shut up about the front/rear brake levers! In the U.S., new bikes are required by law to have the rear brake controlled by the the right brake lever, and the front brake controlled by the left brake lever. This rule doesn't apply to foreign-marketed bikes, so understandably, there are going to be many people with bikes that have the opposite set-up.

[superflykindaguy]

left brake is back wheel in the UK. But is diff from place to place.

[imacf90]

huh.. i never knew that, now i know if i rent a bike, don't jam on the right brake! cuz ill go flying :P

[Filipei7]

raremachine you're an idiot. Make sure you figure that out before you go fast

[J0hnnySw1f7]

[Raremachine]

Your left brake is for your back wheel moron

[chloroxjello]

[coro0314]

[powerofthetrigger]

[dondeans]

[bballjumper]

[aaronandaaron]

your left brake is for your front wheel.. lol know ur stuff

[CedWii360]

I found out the hard way when I was 10 years old which side was which brake. lol. ahh childhood

[patrikk777]

@CedWii360 Rofl me too, I was about 8, riding with my dad. Suddenly I flew over and highfived the pavement :)

[bsr35802]

Yeah uh it's different depending on rider preference and region. Euro style indicates the left brake is the rear, not the front. Americans generally have the left acting as the front. Although some people like using it moto style. MX bikes have a clutch as your left lever and your right lever is the front brake. Shut up the rest of you.
