Haha, I run brakeless on my bmx, it's more like "brakeless is the way forward".

No wussing out once you've got the speed up ;)
I only run a front on my Diamond Back ;)

Haha, not seen someone run front brake only on a bmx in yearssssss.

Not seen a diamondback in a while either ;)

But what you have to remember is.....

The only difference in stopping is this:

you can stop with your feet on the floor or in the back wheel, and this:

needs something more than rubber soled shoes...... ;)

They aren't original I know that!
But I don't think they're bad quality at all. The paint is good, just missing a couple of decals and a rough edge on the seat unit which is as you can see covered by that silver strip.

I thought he might be on about my flamboyantly coloured BMX :grin:

update on the rearset... they are good, but not initially. initially they where shite! i almost cried for spending 120 quid on them.... but once i adjusted it to my feet and the angle, it was good. there is another problem, its the fact that almost everything is detachable.... and it is ideal to use a thread locking compound once you set it to your liking. otherwise it unscrews while you use it... like it did with me, the gear shifter end part kept on loosening as i used it.. so thread lock fixes it. not that anyone would buy these :P but still wanted to share an update.
