As long as you deweight the back wheel as you go down the stairs you’ll be fine.
What does that even mean?
When you go down stairs you want your weight backwards over the rear wheel which is gonna add more weight to the back wheel. To "deweight" the rear wheel you'd need to lean forward which is only going to end in pain going down a stair set.
edit are you referring to going up curbs as opposed to downstairs? In which case this would be relevant?
I'm also struggling to understand 😅
Don't listen to him, he's giving you a recipe for going over your front handlebars hard.
I believe I've done this once before trying to go over a curb - not fun.
