In between spinning and flipping off cliffs for Anthill's latest film, Return to Earth, Brett Rheeder sat down and gave us the details on his Trek Ticket S & Trek Session.
cranks spin because of bearings in bb, guys who do cool tricks take feet off pedals alot, crank stopper allows cranks to move under pedaling but use resistance to keep them in place when they're feet come off during said tricks. Piece of rubber pipe and a pipe clamp usually do the trick.
Thanks for the info guys I understood what it did. I just never knew it existed or how it worked. I love all the MacGyver Tech you dirt jumpers bring to the Bicycle World.
@oldtech: this is what can happen if you don’t have a crank stop, Matt Jones crash at recent Crankworx, explanation starts at 1m10s into video youtu.be/OLDKz53QZaU
@aps62: and here I always thought crank Stoppers were rocks that were sticking up too high on my downhill course when my timing was off. I guess I'm showing my age today
@oldtech: I know you might be 'oldtech' but you've heard of Google right? Surely you haven't been waiting years for a Rheeder bike check video to finally ask the PB audience to find out what a crank stopper is?! Just wait til you find out what a Trickstuff Trixer is. That's gonna blow your mind .
Does Brett only have a front carbon wheel as he has been going through his rear wheels due to them being carbon or can we are one really take a beating. Would be o there’s ted to know as I am looking into buying some carbon we are one wheels.
Edit* Sorry, that was the new bike, my bad. Still a cool read
