Down tube suicide brake

yes, the same thing happend to me. Don`t smoke to much grass and try to repair your bike.

'A' for originality!

courageous? insane? all in all this is the craziest set-up i have ever seen. well done Sir. this is brave.

Sorry, it doesn't make much sense to me either...

utterly ridiculous!!

for not knowing that a downtube mounted brake is for doing tricks on your trek. i'm sure the lovely people at trek intended for that to be a brake and not , say, a shifter.

i guess

I don't get it. if you're in a position where you really need a front brake, the last thing you're going to want to do is take one hand off the bars to reach down and use this...
