CRANKLESS...
« on: April 06, 2009, 04:11:57 PM »
Heys guys and gals...

Due to a SERIOUS lack of funds at the moment, I'm riding without cranks... Last week, I got 360 degrees scuffing and pumps on peg wheelies reasonably down, but tonight, I want to move up a notch, and try Hang 5s, and some real wheel stuff.  Any hints/advice on riding crankless and switching front to back, etc..?

Cheers in advance - Morgan

put heavy pegs on the rear.
it helps keep some kind of counter balance out there when in foward steam / or mc circle.


I find it terribly hard to make the bike firehydrant to me with no cranks.
maby cause its too light weight.
not shure realley.

No need to "counterbalance" and sh*t. You'll just get used to the light weight.
But pegs in BB are a good idea.

I ran with pegs in the BB for about 1 month and it was a novelty that seemed cool at first, but in the end I got sick of it.  I don't hold the disrespect for crankless riders like a lot of people on this site, but it isn't for me. 

Pedaling is the bomb.
Will everybody stop killing each other, please?  Thank you and goodnight.
