most bmx bikes dont have front brakes now ans if you pedal backward and it has pedal brakes its not a bmx bike
Yes, because as an bmx rider i aslo do trick ridding and we do need pedal brakes
The Dyno mountain bike with full suspension and disc brakes is called "Fierce" I had one myself. It was an amazing bike!
The friction is useful on a bike when you push it.
Fixie bike are bikes (usually road bike frames) that have a fixed rear sprocket which allows you to pedal forward like normal, but does not allow you to just coast . If you pedal backwards it goes backwards if you pedal slow it will remain slow. The whole point of a fixie is to eliminate brakes shifters to simplify a road bike.
If you pedal very fast then you may lose control
When You Buy A Mountain Bike It Automatically Comes With One But BMX Bikes Mostly Have Them So You Can Have A Handle Brake For The Back Tire So If You Have One It Is So You Don't Accidentally Pedal Backwards A Hit The Brakes Instead Of Just Keep Riding
Yes, applying the brakes on a bicycle should slow it down. Little squares of rubber are pressed to the metal rimming on the bicylce's wheel when you pull a handle brake, or pedal backwards (depends on if it's an adult bike or children's bike).
Better isn't that simple, it depends on your priorities. Hydraulic disc brakes with big rotors are most powerful, followed by hydraulic rim brakes. Lightest are V-brakes (rim) brakes. Least maintenance are drum/roller brakes.
Don't know what you mean by cassette cranks, but to be able to back pedal you'd need to get another hub for that bike. It's probably cheaper to find a complete new rear wheel than to rebuild your current wheel around another hub.
depends on the bike and the brakes. Go to www.parktool.com or www.sheldonbrown.com for more.
Disc brakes and drum brakes.
