>>10636541. slowly backpedaling (slowest method, but doesn't wear out your tires)
2. skip stopping, do a little hop with your rear wheel while pulling one leg up and pushing down with the other.
you will skip a pedal revolution and slow down (slight tire wear)
3. skidding, yank up one leg and push down hard with the other while getting wheight out of your saddle. (heavy tire wear, but is also the fastest way of stopping if done correctly)
4. balls to stem skid, no use as a brake
>>1063479choosing the correct ratio is not just for skidding, skip stopping also wears your tires.
17 patches to skip/skid on is better than 1.
also getting this butt bamboozled about people wanting to stop fixed gear bikes.
