It's a scary feeling having the front wheel almost vertical, but I kept the brake covered so I wouldn't loop out. I'm gonna work on no handers next

MISFITSBOB · 06-29-2008, 10:46 AM

no handers would be sweet.

project-c2 · 06-30-2008, 12:06 AM

Try sitting on the rear of the seat. Not the 12 bar. That way you can get the weight???? off your arms to open up new tricks. Looks good though. Stunt safe.

i got a 50stunt hand brake and a 40 tooth sprocket im looking to get rid of...

Looks good shawn. Have you tried taking off the front wheel so that the front is lighter? I would imagine it would be easier to pull up a wheelie that way.

Psychoholic · 06-30-2008, 09:37 AM

First off you should be sitting on the seat, second if your sitting on the 12 bar the front tire is not far off the ground conpaired to the higher you sit up on the seat. Third taking the front tire off may make it easier, but if your having a hard time wheeling a fiddy taking the front wheel off probably isnt a good idea (as you probably dont have the experiance) Forth, hey DC is that the HB with the billet rear brake arm extender?? if so how much??

price on handbrake? i need one really bad

sorry to hi jack your thread shawn

shawn742 · 06-30-2008, 10:36 AM

Thanks for the tips guys, but I think i'm gonna try sitting back a little further so that the front comes up easier and won't be as straight up as it is in those pictures, I felt like I was about to hit the 12 bar at any second.

Zar · 06-30-2008, 10:45 AM

standing on the 12 bar plate will put your weight even further back. You could probably hit balance point with the tire less than a foot off the ground.

Psychoholic · 06-30-2008, 11:17 AM

Trust me, your gonna be a long way from the 12 bar even if you sit up more.... Ive been trying to scrape my rear fender for a couple of weeks and I cant even do that , no matter how much speed I carry into a coaster.. Im sure it can be done i just dont got enough rear brake to pull me back...So dont worrie about hitting the 12 bar

onewheelregulator · 06-30-2008, 02:32 PM

I think im gonna extend(make longer) my 12 bar so I can whellie it easier. Oh and Shawn you need to let more air out of your rear tire it will help with b/p!

Man dont do that, its just gonna look retarded. And you dont want to make it easier, you want to learn on it, if you want the front to come up easier change the rear sprocket or put a bbk it in. and less air might make it easier to keep straight, but if you put the pressure too low you will spin the tire (on the rim).

shawn742 · 06-30-2008, 03:21 PM

I thinking sitting too far forward would look goofy, me and my boys all sit like this and we were murdering the wheelies, Jon even got some gangsta spreaders

Oh and I think if I moved my 12 bar out anymore I wouldn't even be able to do a BP wheelie without it hitting the ground, I'm already riding my wheelies at 11 o'clock

Yeah I think you may be on to something Will, I think extended 12 bar and no front tire will make a huge difference I was even thinking about going forkless for wheelies that should make the front a little bit lighter.

Hell yeah!!! Then Im gonna buy one of these Bar Mounted E-Z Circle Button [Easy Button] - $999.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce

BlackBeard · 06-30-2008, 08:38 PM

nice wheelies, but you need to scoot up! ypour no where near the 12bar in thos epics. the further up on the seat you are the more stable the wheelie is.

+1(on scooting back) I like to to hang off of past the 12 bar . Oh and btw how do you still stay on the bike at that steep of an angle?
