Brake help? ?

Question

i have a bmx bike........

i was thinking about taking the back brake off on my bike

what would you recomend?

Answer 1

well some people i know take off their brakes so they can do bar spins and other tricks. but those bikes are just for ramps. if you ride on the street then you might need the brakes. but if you go on ramps it would be ok because you could always slow yourself down on the ramps.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, no one will be able to offer you brake help, if we don't know what the problem with the brakes are.  If you're looking to remove the rear brakes to give them some servicing, be it cleaning, replacing pads, or replacing the whole brake, do not operate the bicycle without putting those rear brakes back on.  Having only the front brakes will greatly decrease your braking power, and increase chances of injuring yourself.
