CalopS Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 My Hope brake clamps broke so I tried brakeless for a few weeks and here is the result. I had a really fun time doing it and definetly want to give it a proper go with an Inspired in the future.... The song is by a UK band called Maybeshewill. The track "Takotsubo" features at the end of there debut album "Not For Want of Trying". Just fitted my brakes back on for tomorrows ride and just pulling the lever's feels odd. Should be an interesting ride! Here we go anyways: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 So that was you! Was wondering who you were after we left you at that rock at Playhouse. Sweet video man - could almost forget you were brakeless for some of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Was exited too see the turn out from the ride Sunday, I think the music was pretty spot on there Carl well impressed, you get extra man points for that. I think there a very few people who could just improve as fast as I've seen you do without brakes, Your like a duck to water massive improvement with the frame change also. You've been a big boost too my riding and how I attack wall's and rock since the first time we ride together Your eye's see many things others tend too over look, Cant wait too do some filming over the summer with your brakes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
