Brakes/Bar Spin

[MonsterEnergy]

Where do you put your wires for your brakes to be able to bar spin?

Really mate! All these questions, just use google or go look at a bmx.....

And they are cables!

I helped a while back but you're now long since marked down as a wind up merchant... obvious troll got too obvious.

Will you by any chance need a photograph and perhaps a map of these wires at some point in this thread?

He's about 15 which might explain his bmx interest? But he should know how to use Google or YouTube
Or try a BMX forum

Go down to your local urban street venue and see what the other boys do.

use the soles of their shoe on the rear wheel and wheelie down the road holding up traffic seems to be the norm

You won't be spinning bars on an MTB - far too many cables, and gear cables don't take to bending/twisting. If you take a look at 'jump bikes' (they look like MTB's but aren't), you'll see specialist cable arrangements for the brakes (if fitted) and no gear cables.

Jumps and tricks/urban messing about - jump bike/bmx
Trails etc, mountain bike
Downhill - downhill MTB or big Enduro MTB.

Bikes have a purpose and can't always do everything.

I would suggest googling 'jump bikes'. Your current bike isn't ideal for spinning bars.

Our local 'indoor jump park' has jump bikes with brake cables - you can flick the bars, but not 360 like you'd do on a BMX. I've ridden 'Dirt Factory' on my Trail bike, and that's not ideal with 130mm of travel both ends - just doesn't jump like a jump bike.

Google 'Dirt Factory' and you'll find videos of what folk are using. Those 'jumping' well are on jump bikes.

Surprising what a 70 yr old grandad can find using google!

ive seen in vids from Sam Pilgrim...A professional Biker, cut is front brake and put it up through the bottom of the fork, and through the top of the handle bars somehow.
So u are wrong....You can do that on any MTB

You can't barspin a DH bike, no matter how you set the brakes up.

I could be wrong, but it is likely that Sam Pilgrims bike is single speed so no gear cables from the bars?

There's a couple of ways to do it (DH bikes excepted)

• Front - either dont have one or run the cable/hose down the steerer tube
• Rear - use a gyro or use an extra long cable/hose

The gyro will let you do unlimited bar spins in either direction whereas using a long hose will limit you to doubles or triples.. and you'll have to remember to frequently unwind it or alternate normals with oppos

Gear cables - just use the long cable as above .. or go SRAM AXS

You go fixed on the back and rod brakes on the front.
