Another round of freestyle training in Malcesine... After 6 months of tempering with my brakes, I finally found what I believe is my final brake setup. I replaced the acro handles supplied with the Octane 2 by classic brake handles but using bungees (free brakes). Main reason was, no matter how much I shortened the brakes, I still needed to take an additional wrap for fast spins (McTwist) and SATs. Taking wraps is much easier and more effective with classic brakes. McTwists now work reliably with one additional wrap and I also did my first dynamic/asymmetric SATs (still work in progress, but man, this is a fun trick!).
