Underbone brake techniqe

[john_yo]

ok ra dunganon nimo bro pero lesser jud ang force dapat ang sa atubangan bro, kay ang resulta og mas kupot ang brake sa atubangan kay sa luyo kay ma trapo jud ka.

ayaw mo tapad/sunod og manga jeep, trycycles, taxi, kargado ana nila kay manga reckless drivers and yet they claim to have a PROFESSIONAL Drivers License... LTO sucks.

always use the rear for brakes then timpla ka gamay sa atubangan. never use the the front brake alone labi na pilit kaau imo front brakes, na ma trapo jud ka ana. and dont forget na dako kaau ang tabang ang engine brake, use this only on emergency cases only kay maka daot pod ni sa makina og pirmihon.

hope this helps.

quote nalang ko ning akong gi post sa pikas thread kay basin maka tabang pod ni diri ninyo.

dapat lang when you ride a bike kay ilailaha og maau ang imo bike. when you ride it, think of it as a part of your body. and the most important part is know the limits of your bike... in this way maka iwas jud ka sa disgrasya.

ride safe guys.

When braking, most if not all of the weight/momentum/force will shift to the front that's why it is better to rely on the front brake than the rear.
The rear tire will easily lock up because of this shift in weight.
What will actually happen is that the rear tire will lose some contact to the ground, hence the locking up of the rear.

Most of the time, the locking up will cause the rider to panic.

I'm not saying that one shouldn't use the rear brake. It's better that it only supplements the front brake rather the other way around.

Don't grab the front brake even when in an emergency braking situation.
Gradual pressure is the key here. The front will never lock up as long as you apply gradual pressure to the bike.

I use my rear brake alone without applying the front brake only when I'm negotiating through tight traffic. Just to give you an idea, I replace my front pads twice before I replace the rear. 2:1 ang ila ration

Hope this helps

Agreed! Squeeze but don't stab is the key to braking whether it be in bicycles, motorcycles or cars

Also from Keith Code's book Twist of the Wrist II:

"It is my recommendation that you master using only the front brake except when riding in slippery conditions. Locking the back brake also puts the bike out of control. The rear wheel, spinning, provides the vast majority of stability for the bike from the steering head back. In other words, everything but the front end is kept stable by the gyro force of the spinning rear wheel.

And...

"During full power stops from 60 miles per hour or more, the rear brake is only good for the first 10 to 15 feet or so, while the weight is fully transitioning onto the front tire. After the first 15 feet, or the first second of travelling time, the rear wheel is off the ground, and no amount of rear brake will do anything."

Personally, the only time I touch my rear brake is the first few seconds when I start braking or when I'm correcting my turn in angle mid corner (especially when a stone suddenly appears on the road ahaha).

di ko master pero mo share lang ko ani kay para malikayan ang disgrasya. Anyway mao ni ang storya before ko nakaton ug mot2x dili gyud ko ganahan ug mot2x I've been driving a car for my entire driving career pero since worst ang traffic karon na time and mahal na ang gas mao na pugos na lang ko ug mot2x. Kani lagi bago pa ta...one week after napalit ako XRM kaduha ko na disgrasya na trapo ang lobot sa motor kay atubangan ang ako ma brake pirmi hehehehe nya dili lang ka osa kaduha ko na trapo sa motor pag friday then pag sunday ana like I said 1 week after napalit ang motor disgrasya dayon ko....naka ulaw lang kay daghan taw nya wala koy kontra pagka trapo hehehhe.

So lesson learn, when braking.....unaha ang luyo unya abagan ug brake sa atubangan....pero kung super emergency ang pagbrake for example naay iring,iro or tao molabang ug kalit dunganan tanan ug brake as hard as you can. kung tanaw nimo dili na madala ug brake kay naa pa man na stopping distance inig brake apilan pa gyud ug down shift sa gear para mo engine brake pa gyud and this helped me a lot of times. labi na sa mga bwisit na jeep ug taxi nga magsunod ka nya kalit lang mo hunong or mo lugar kay naay pasahero mo sakay.

just my 2 cents.

well said.

well said..... ang technique kay gradual lang jud if possible.

Nindot ni na topic kay importante kaau ni, and also about steering/counter steering.

Ang pinaka importante sa braking is ang imo ligid, kung maayo pa imo ligid and dili opaw, maka hunong gyud ka labi na sudden breaking kay di man kaau mo lock up. Kuyawan kaayo ko magtan-aw anang mga motor na magdagan sa highway unya offroad tires ang gigamit, dali ra kaayo na mo slide ug asphalt kay gamay ra rubber naka contack sa road.

another tip:

observe an ample distance for your bike to "glide" and gradually bleed off some speed before applying brakes. this applies to situations like approaching an intersection withe the traffic light on red. this reduces fuel burn and brake pad wear. this also makes your passenger (if you have any) to be more comfortable instead of bumping his/her helmet on yours as you apply brake pressure. lol

tinuod when braking sa front dili kausahon ug kumot nga murag wa nay ugma.hehe resulta ana sukarap jud ka.. dapat pitik2x ra jud na bisan pa ug emergency stop pa na.. atong timanan nga ang front brake jud ang nag dala sa stoping power sa motor. mas mubo ug skid sa ligid kung nag gamit ka ug front n rear brake dungan kaysa rear brake ra, plus ma eliminate pa jud ang fishtailing sa rear wheel kung nag front brake ka. ang technique ra jud para dili malamba kung mag fishtail or mag lock ang front wheel kay RELEASE AND PRESS ra jud, pitik2x. sa mga emergency sudden stop bahala mabangga o maigo jud nimo imong ingkwentro basta hinay nalang ka tungod sa pitik2x braking 2-3x until imo mapalock ang ligid nga dili mag fishtail.

para nako engine braking sa motor kay dili advisable. maka cause pod na ug lock sa ligid labi na sa flat road raka.. resulta lamba jud ka nga wa pa maigo sa imong inkwentro ana.. naay akong kauban pod nag fishtail siya imbis buhian ra ang rear brake para maka balik ka ug balance ni layat man hinuon siya sa motor. hehe

paktis pod mo ug half clutching. labi na padong ka mag low gear.. kada change nimo from high to low gear while kusog imo dagan dili sa nimo dayon buhian ang change pedal. long press usa din rev ka gamay dayon release pasulod sa next lower gear.. mura ra na ug engine brake pero smooth ang dating.
