I totally miss read this as being a V-brake question. I probably subconsciously read it that way because I want to help more people get into v-brakes. oops.

I've been a v-brake user for more then 10 years now. I weight about 240lb, ~110ish kg. I agree with Mark that the CNC backings like the TNNs (which I use) are a must. Right now I like the Jitsie pads the best. I've tried the TNN and the Coust pads. They also work well. They all hold well but I think the Jitsie pads have a little better bite which is the harder think to get out of a v-brake. Right now based on what I've tried I would rank v-brake pads like this. There is a very small difference between each. 1. Jitsie 2. Heatsink Yellow 3. Heatsink Coust 4. TNN Green 5. TNN ADV (black) 6. TNN Blue One more thing I almost forgot. The Heatsink pads have a different backing. There backing is a little thicker. If you have tight clearance definitely get something compatible with the TNN backings. The Jitsie pads are a littler thinner out of the box too.

Is there any other rider in the world that uses 2 fingers on the brake?

That was rad.

I've never had the balls to do something like that but I think a guy with a rope would be enough. You know you're going to the wrong side well before you're beyond saving. I'd just tell my buddy, "If I start screaming at you, you pull the shit out of that rope and make sure I crash onto the good side."

From tonight. we didn't get the filming and the riding right at the same time so two attempts.
