Re: Beat this angle if you can.....
Yep, the K-lever 2 system allows for front and rear braking on the right hand side. However, I am yet to get good enough to actually brake with the rear in a race, so leave it alone. It needs to be there for ACU regulations and scrutineering.

Re: Beat this angle if you can.....
Impressive.
I'd love to ask a couple of questions out of curiosity, if they are not impertinent. How do you change gear? And how do you start a race if you cannot hold the bike up when stationary, or are they rolling start? |

Re: Beat this angle if you can.....
I use an electronic gear shifter to change gear, which has buttons on the handle bars and an electronic solenoid located over the gear lever. I get launched from the back of the grid with two helpers, so I always have to start from the back of the grid and make my way through the slower riders.

If you look at my left foot you can see a metal cylinder, that is the gear shifter, and on the bars will be the buttons. Feet are held in place with tow clips and velcro, the knees have velcro straps onto the patch where the knee slider would have been. This is what it looks like from the helpers point of view: http://youtu.be/KB3GZd_fLDE Last edited by Talan; 25-06-13 at 06:03 PM. |

Beat this angle if you can.....
Criggers beat that on a roundabout at AR! He managed 90 degree lean! Lol
Joking aside, huge respect for riding like that! I would struggle enough without having to worry about being in a race!
