How to Setup a DH Mountain Bike for Downhill Racing : Downhill Mountain Biking Brakes

[alwalk21]

Front braking is the most efficient and effective braking. I mainly use my rear brake when I make a mistake and need to save myself. Feathering the front is the way to go fast.

[tigerfan3905]

downhill bikes won't throw you over the bars. you should be back on your bike and long travel fork.

i've found front breaks to be more important in biking downhill. not for stopping but for slowing down. the back brakes should be used as well obviously.

Save yourselves and don't watch past 0:01.

What a d bag

[nara94]

well i agree with u dont need much pressure to stop with that, but in reality, u dont wanna be using ur breaks so much, like with downhill its moastly the back break u use and hardly the front

[uraje5]

lol prophet= downhill bike XD

*I use it for pure downhill* XD

he probably never saw a bike before he did this vid.

[dpsdan4]

....u dont slam on ur front brake dip fucks and yea its very smart to use them

[zxsamsonxz]

This guy probably should just sell his bike and not have anything to do with bikes anymore. and clearly this guy hasnt gone more then 5mph on that bike cause if he pulled his front break he'd be over his bars and be 2x uglier then he already is..

btw this is bs from 0:01 - 1:38

[LJinALASKA]

2x uglier than he already is! lol made my day

so guys when your ripping down a mountain you should definitely use your front brake 70% of the time, because thats what this real downhiller does lol i dont know many dh bikes that have 6" brakes

[realfastdownhiller]

you need to ajust the break levers so u only need 1 finger to pull them with if you want to see a good downhiller check out my account realfastdownhiller

[yacuzah]

well i use 2 fingers i think its an taste situation :D

[slowrx]

If I used 70% front brake on the trails i ride, I'd be over the handle bars every 2 minutes.

[Downhiller13KriS]

wtf is wrong with this guy?

lol you shoud use your back brack more. That man is FUCKED up

[TheAussiNut]

No you dont have toi use your brakes as often as you think only when going down step inclines slowing down for corners or se a tree in your face ffs JUST DONT LISTEN TO HIS CRAP hes deadly like to se him ride Mt Coramba with minimum braking

[Downhiller13KriS]

[TheAussiNut]

He's actualy suckin his boyfriends hairy left ball, if you listen carfully you can here him choking on it
