Mountain Biking - No Brakes, Little Money

40 dollars canadian? What the h*ll happened to your normal bike? And if you can't use v's, get some expendable shoes and put your foot in the forks. :P
YOU HAVE TO USE DISCS=SCREWED
YOU CAN GET ENTRY LvL BRAKESET+EAGLE 2's for 40? MAyBE. IF you don't have the v mounts, then my advice is ... I have no advice...

Both of you's seem like little kids. I have had to ride with no brakes before. Shove your foot into the front tire.

oooh really?^

Well i dont think 40 bucks is gunna get you brakes, take the $40 and buy a beater :D

Do you have any idea what your doing? The discs that the set come with are obviously not going to work so that means new rotors right away....and you have to make sure those calipers work on the new rotors you get.

^37.00$ is still DIRT cheap, you really cant go wrong

If they don't work when they are supposed to...you've gone wrong.

how will you feel if you are out $37 and still have to use your foot to stop?all my bmx buddies use their foot on the back tire instead of in the front rim.no problems with sticking it in too far and well the rest is painful and expensive.the kids here get their parents to spend mega bucks on some big name haro or dk etc.and as soon as they get home and mom and dad are in the house OFF COMES THE BRAKES then they use their shoe.its funny as heck to go riding with them.oh yeah they get new shoes with the bike too so they can (for real) stop.spend the money on some shoes to stop with or just save it to upgrade.i thought your bike was relatively new.what happened?maybe i confuse you wiyh another diamondback rider.if so sorry

forget it.....i just got new disks today VIA my dad :D Ahh yes, parents&money....what would i do without them...:P

what kind did you get?

^ Shimano Deore (Mech.)

buddy!!! holy crap...I CANT USE V's BECAUSE MY RIMS ARE NOT V-COMPATABLE. and dont be such a dick kid, you arent funny.

Just leave the kid alone, he's 13. Think of how you were when you were 13. Christ man. :rolleyes:

^ Shimano Deore (Mech.)

Nice...they are good mech brakes :)

Diamondback, you don't give us a headsup at all on what happened to your bike. You don't tell me why u can't use V's until it's too late and then diss me for it. Plus if you're gonna call me a dick, why'd you call me buddy? Jeez, what the heck is wrong with you.

^sorry man....rough day...forgive me :(

Just leave the kid alone, he's 13. Think of how you were when you were 13. Christ man. :rolleyes:

note to you: Diamondback is only 14 ...so 6 months ago he was 13 :p

but then again, im only 15..so..yeah.
