Title: wheelie with clip ons?
Post by: makaveli2502 on June 17, 2007, 09:07:07 PM
why is it harder to do wheelies with clip ons? seems like it doesnt do as good as the stock handle bars.

the bars are lower.  Weight is pushed more toward the front of the bike.  You're more balanced.  before you had a lot more weight on the rear...not as much holding the bike down.

oh ok    but it comes up pretty good still when i stand on the back pegs. what if i put less weight on the bars by clutching it  would that work?
