Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - How high can you bunnyhop?

Just what it says.

How high, and what kind of bars / stem are you running.

Who bunnyhops without clips

on the mountain rig I couldn't clear a tire length-wise, but I could get onto platforms about 3 feet in the air

I'm sorry if you were reading this expecting to be impressed

on a fixed or any bike?

on a track bike

9 inches but I also tell people I have a 9 inch ****.

so really 4 inches on a good day

Why the **** would you want to bunnyhop a track bike?

why the hell not

Uh, because it's fun.
I'm having trouble getting up really big curbs if I'm going straight at them. My cranks always end up in the wrong spot when I'm ready to hop up. Going at a slight angle I can just cut over when the cranks are in the right position. I'm able to get up a small 2-stair landing this way, but I can't go straight at it yet. Too many flat tires.

(I'm running the stock pista stem w/ choped fsa risers and primo platform pedals)

because we can't smoke hash in cafes here in the USA

yeah, that happens to me a lot, too.

do mini skids to line up you cranks

Not nearly as high or far as on my BMX bike or my mountain bike

ask this guy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV-YIheRALk)

i can bunnyhop a normal curbstone on my fixed but i looks realy cramped

just in case.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkxv2ZWi4ak

enough to get up a curb

I can bunnyhop 0 on my track bike.

On my fixed, probably 5 or 6 inches. On my bmx, somewhere in the neighborhood of 38-40 inches.

this

I've done a curb that was 10-12" on my fixie (doing the one-wheel-at-a-time thing). I'm not too good at getting both wheels off the ground at speed yet (I can do it, but only to clear small things). I'm working on doing the front-back bunnyhop (that is, pull up on the bars, then jump after the front is in the air) on my freewheel bikes, but am not too good at that yet either.

at slow speeds 6" if I'm lucky. I feel ike a badass though.

Atax road drop and flip/chop bullhorns. (clips)

oh, yeah... I'm running a set of Profile TT base bars (bullhorns)

God, those 360s are so sick.

I can only get a couple inches on the fixed gear using flat bars. Be careful not to crack your fork in half or put a nice ripple in your top tube doing bunnyhops.

high enough to destroy the cranks on my allez. about a foot off the ground on a road bike, havent tried on my fixie

a bit of an extremist much? mostly you'll have to true your wheels a lot

to continue the bunny hops cause damage theme

i caused repeated steerer and headset problems hopping off stuff

The fork snapping is probably unlikely, but I have heard of a few people cracking their frames near the head tube after hopping countless curbs. These bikes really aren't designed to be treated so brutally. Besides, a lot of folks are riding some janky conversions. Who knows what will happen when someone slams down with a loose headset and a fork with lots of rake?

never tried it fixed. but with a freewheel and clip-less shoes (no hope getting the back wheel up without those) about a foot or so, enough to clear curbs and speed humps. i try to do it gingerly though. great way to jack up your head set, among other things.

Yeah, the risk of damaging your ride just doesn't seem worth it to me. This thread has got me curious to try though. I've never tried to bunny hop fixed.

i thing bunnyhopf are essential for fast riding in a city. you cant alway slowdown for curbs, potholes, rails and meybe smal dogs...
my main problem is that the headset bearing shels bekome loose in the headtube. but i´m riding an old cheap steel track frame when i destroyed the frame total i buy an newschool alloy with 1 1/8 mtb headset an never have this problem again.

I just did my first true bunny hop on it the other day. I was cutting through a large parking lot not looking. The last second I saw a large pothole and hopped it. No bump. saved my rims and tires. I have not been able to hop when I tried it for fun it just took a need and over I went. Lots of fun I can get up and down small curbs on my fixie. I did give myself a flat when I hopped off larger a curb and let the bike slam down.

Yeah, I've def. ****ed up a bunnyhop and flatted my back tire before. Happens.
When I'm trying, I can do around 6 inches, still working on spinning-around when I do it..

do´s one know where the record on a fixed is? a friend jumps above 30cm high thinks during some championchips
