Mountain Bike Shorts Padded
Tips for downhill mountain bike braking?
I will be introducing myself to the world of trail riding on a dual-suspension mongoose “status” 26″ bike with front and rear disc brakes (not sure of the type of pads or the material, though). Yes, the bike is cheap and probably built with crappy materials (especially the rear, coil spring suspension), but it rides beautifully and its all that i have. So i was wondering, if i were to go on a long, steep downhill trail, can the disc brake take a constant, weak braking, or do i have to brake in short bursts. I am used to riding machines that have engine braking and i just dont trust mountain bike brakes; disc, or not.
Thanks in advance!
oh.. i guess i shoul have said that they are not hydraulic. They are cable-style brake lines (not sure if thats good or bad…)
Pulse brake, it will provide greater stopping and reducing heating on the brake rotors.
Try to pull the brake leaver like a gun trigger, constantly and not in one hard motion, this helps you reach the ultimate braking point, before your tyre looses grip and you start sliding.
Move back on your seat and place more weight on your back tyre, this provides more grip.
Try to plan ahead so you don’t brake too late.
