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..
