bij Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Ever since pinch flatting out and having to replace the tube and all, I could never get the brakes set up nearly as well. I kept getting slippage despite re-grinding and didn't want to spend so much time to set up my bike, so I thought forget the brakes and rode without them for a while and am enjoying it a lot!

chimpanzyyyy Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have to say, being a brakeless rider myself, that you have lots of skills and a good amount of bravery keep up the good work Your doing it right! as he said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've never heard of Yess frames before, are they new or has my "out of loopness" been longer than I thought. Awesoome vid, I can imagine brakeless trials being scary as s**t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 That was pretty damn awesome, brakeless trials is just terrifying! Saw these Yess frames on OTN last week, same company that made a pretty nice looking sprung tensioner. Not sure on the way the seatstays meet the front "triangle" looks a little odd where it's not inline with the top tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the bit I like! I reckon it looks pretty smart. Obviously not a new make then? Edited April 2, 2012 by Luke Dunstan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrider88 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yeah,it looks different,but I actually like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 This kind of riding's not usually my cup of tea but well impressed with the brakeless skills. Would scratch the barspins at the end though. So not up to the standard of the rest of the video.Oh yeah, I kinda like the frame. Not what I'd ride but for a pure trials frame, I reckon it looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Would scratch the barspins at the end though. So not up to the standard of the rest of the video. I'd imagine they're not as easy as they may appear to be. Nice skills. Riding brakeless is so anti-establishment, it shows you're not going to support the big corporations that make brake pads and grinding discs. I like it.

old'scoolfool Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 if i can get my riding back to this level WITH brakes i'll be happy lol, nothing but admiration for you brakeless loon's i'd fall flat on my back everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'd imagine they're not as easy as they may appear to be. I guess when i made the coment i was thinkin more about aesthetics than anything but it's not a hard trick either. Just felt the standard of the rest of the vid was so much higher. I reckon it's better to have the best stuff at the end too. Still rad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bij Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 hope it rides nice 'cause it's looks I'm glad you hurled you over this, but you are not the first. But Yess offers custom colors while they have frames in stock. Two other riders Jeff rides a red bike and Stevie has darker yellow frame. So the good news for everyone else who may get the Yess frame is, the only barf color frame is mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I like it, just not the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
