Wheelie appreciation thread.
 
Okay, first off no b*tching. This is straight up. You know when you were a kid you loved it. Now that youre older, don't you like poppin a wheelie or two? I do say, my steamroller will go like no other. (although im not as refined as i used to be)

lyledriver 10-10-06 02:59 PM

Yes, I do.
Though, at 75 gear inches on a touring frame, I can only really get it up on speed tables.

I can't even do a wheelie, let alone a no handed one.

Screw you Juvi-Kyle.

ApolloCVermouth 10-10-06 06:49 PM

So, how do you do that? Do you need a short track wheelbase and low gearing?

Juvi-kyle has a 'fixie beard' too. That helps him balance better.

not really, i do it on my bike alot like in juvi's pictures but im clipped in. I get into a trackstand, roll the wheels back a bit, lean my body back and push/pull the cranks to lift it up. when i land, the front tire skips forward since its turned sideways. i've been riding wheelies more now since i got risers, it makes it much easier to control, IMO.

I still want the ****ing pictures Juan ;)
