The Purple DHR.Found this old pic of me with no fingers on the brakes. Leaky Saint brakes, so I doubt it really mattered anyways.
Collector?
Go fast. Commit.

Collector?
Yeah, I think that was the ending of Embryo right there where it dumps out into the dust bowl Collector.
RIP
60 mph side winds at saddle watched guys get there bikes blown sideways and crash...this is where weight played a bonus... Index fingers on brakes...
To be fair, when your wheels are so small, you’re never going fast enough to really need much braking.brakes is fer sissies/westies
When your levers are rotated that far down how in the Faulk could you ever reach them anywaysbrakes is fer sissies/westies
I doubt my chode fingers would reach those levers so I'd be the same.I saw this picture over on leelikesbikes.
Note the untouched brake levers.
I don't race downhill, but I ride a ton and I do like going fast. I gotta wonder how many times I scrub speed, even the slightest bit, when I simply don't need to, just because I usually cover my rear brake lever whenever the trail gets sketchy. A habit like that seems to be hard to brake. (no pun intended)
when you attack life you lean forward
wanna race?
Well uhhhmmm positin is pretty attack...
Would need to be way more attack to get to those levers....
1) make it harder to reach the brake levers
2) brake less
3) go faster
4) ???
5) profit!
