Author Message   Randlepmcmurphy Posted on Sunday, March 05, 2006 - 07:21 pm:        I was coasting thru a dirt parking lot and grab too much front brake. The front slid out from under me and I ended up laying her on here side. I just ordered frame pucks and rail sliders but they haven't come in yet. The kicker is I was stopping for a soda and the place ended up being closed. Now the bike is officially mine.   Cataract2 Posted on Sunday, March 05, 2006 - 10:35 pm:        Ahhh, they add character.   Bcordb3 Posted on Sunday, March 05, 2006 - 10:46 pm:        When I dropped my bike in my driveway I was sort of relieved. I never had to worry about the first scratch again.   Whodom Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 08:42 am:        Sorry about your bike, but it does go to show the value of that rear brake. There's a couple of good articles on braking technique at this site that can help prevent this kind of mishap: http://www.msgroup.org/TIPS.asp Specifically: Braking Method- http://www.msgroup.org/TIP028.html Taper Technique- http://www.msgroup.org/TIP030.html
