So I’ve been riding my Redline Nacho. Basically its a 925 with some mods such as removing all the pretty fender stuff, and replacing the moustache bars with a flat bar and finally, no brakes.
I’m learning how to ride with more confidence on the Nacho. Since I don’t have brakes, I really need to be more aware of my surroundings and stop skid when needed. But for the most part, as long as I know my surroundings, I can slow down just by using my legs.
However, I’ve yet to conquer coming down a hill down the street from me since its mega huge….but one day I will

May be a no-brainer for you, but on downhills, make sure you’re not just putting weight down on the pedals on the upstroke, but also pulling up on the pedal on the downstroke. That’ll slow you down better, so you won’t have to skip/skid as frequently.
