I'm not talking commuter bike or trials stupid. I'm talking bikes that can be launched off of steps, grind rails. Less cable equals an easier ability to do X-ups and Barspins. If you ever get a look at John Cowan's bike(Dirt Jump), Aaron Chase's bike, Chris Donahue's bike, and other non trials style of riders you will notice one thing, no front brake. Get some stuff to back up your claim before you go calling a person out.
