Brake shaft removal and trail milling

Removing brake waves from trails can be a controversial topic. Brake waves are often caused by braking on a trail, which can lead to the result that the ground gets scaped and that leads again to a deep hole. Bikers can fall in the brake wave and get injured.

However, some trail enthusiasts argue that removing brake waves changes the natural character of the trail and that they are part of the riding experience. In addition, they can also help reduce speed on the trail.

Ultimately, whether to remove braking waves depends on the needs and priorities of trail users. In any case, it is important that any trail modifications are done responsibly and sustainably to protect the environment and everyone’s safety.
