Braking as a critical mountain biking skill which can get overlooked as..... everyone knows how to brake right? Well...pressing the brakes when riding on roads and paths is fine but when you come to steep, loose trails the technique becomes essential. Pressing both brakes firmly is going to lock up the wheels, causing you to skid. Instead of slowing down this will just keep the speed so you then have to hold on and hope.
Instead we need to be pressing the brakes gradually, focusing mostly on the front to keep the grip. It's amazing how slow and controlled you can actually go when you try it. Enjoy

I have issue because my brakes are really bad, i need to pull them with 2 fingers to have good brake power, is it okay to put 2 fingers on each brake insted of 1?

It's not good cause you'll have only three finger to hold the grip and it is not enough to get a good grip compare to 4 fingers. You should bring the bike to bike shop maybe they could help.

Changing break pad could help if they are too old. Maybe calibration is needed, maybe if they feel spongy they need bleeding. Or if you have not hydraulic breaks they simply require more strength and there is not much you can do (unless they are worn down, renewing them could help). Get bike to the shop and they will see if there is anything they can do about it

Yeah two fingers is fine, still good grip on the bars. Maybe try giving your brakes a service, may make them easier to press 🤘🏻

Always scared of using front brake to go otb

@JayHurstMtb 4 дня назад

@@faze_kelvin7081 To go OTB you would have to be far over the front and slam the front brake on. If you keep your body more central and press the front brake gradually you’ll be fine 🤘🏻
