I have ridden both and i personnally like having a brake even if i dont use it that often but i find it gets in the way of tucks Frown

try changing the angle of ur levers. I mount my levers so they hang under the bars so I can squeeze them when I'm standing up... my fingers are long enough I can just reach them when sitting down too. It sounds retarded but that's just the way i like to ride and it works

you cant really call people that use brakes as "f*ggots"

I rode a lot of steep trails, which did need a lot of braking, I attempted it without brakes and it was too fast to ride safely without having some suspension, and i liked to do trials, so a brake was necessary for me.

Theres people that need brakes to get into a park, and Local laws might be enforced about having brakes on a bike.

I think that's a typo on the name. Should be 'dirthumper'

Brakes ftw, it makes me laugh ALOT that some brakeless people, slag people with brakes. Its perfetic seriosly, having brakes or being brakeless, makes you no better than what you already are, I meen i personally cannot ride brakeless for sh*t, only because im use to having a brake, i just think brakeless limits your tricks, well you dont see garrett reynolds pulling a flair to footjam to overjam do you, But i wont sit here bitching to all you brakesless people, just enjoy riding and get along with everyone.

This has a contradiction within it.

Really wish people would stop putting in their two cents about this. Either you run them or you don't.

I'm currently running brakes on an MTBMX.

On my bike? Disks.

I'd rather Ody as it's cheaper and the springs are better.
