    Maybe more riders should invest in full face helmets looking at the amount of facial injuried. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Good article regarding what to do. I have been practicing and found that when leaning the bike it helps to push down into the turn and have to hand at the top as light as it can be. Disclaimer, I really suck at cornering, but have small epiphanies. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Rich990, on 29 Aug 2016 - 5:59 PM, said: Hi, Just to check. Does bicycle helmets fall into tariff heading 6506.10.90 which is for: Other headgear, whether or not lined or trimmed: Safety headgear: Other If it does it attracts 25% duty? See page 404 of “LAPD-LPrim-Tariff-2012-04 - Schedule No 1 Part 1 Chapters 1 to 99”. Or am I wrong in this assumption?

    Also had loads of issues getting my tire off the rim. Eventually found this video. Watch from around 1:30. Don't pull on the spokes but rather the rim. It takes about 10 seconds to get both sides of. Once you have broken a little bit of the bead of the tyre off the rim, use some tyre levers to do the rest. Video: https://youtu.be/3Cs4y8K5hiU

    That was pretty amazing, the acceleration past Sagan and then pulling away from Kittel. Think he was driven by pure passion. Nice words from him during the interview and his daughter is looking forward to the flowers. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    I am looking at some trials skills to try and do some low speed stuff. Look at how to do a wheelie drop. Ryan Leech has a good series (where this video is from) on balance and trials skills. Speed is definitely your friend, but if you can master the slow speed trials type skills you are so much more versatile. https://youtu.be/-9M67u_X8M4

    I always though wearing a heavier pack makes you go faster on the down hills, gravity and all that physics stuff
