rock Posted April 26, 2011 Share the problem wasnt with the 29" wheels, I really think they should stop arsing around with 1x10 set ups, even if had had the issue with the top 3 gears, he could of still climbed with the smaller of the 2 chain rings, he would thave then possibly not been as fatigued come the last lap which might have caused the lapse in concentration resulting in his crash???.......the guys on the podium all had 2 chain rings up front...... and for the record I ended up selling both my 29er and my MRP chain guide ages ago......stick with what works, I like how hermida wben went back to his 26er after the epic.....and I'm sure Merida would also want to push sales of their new 29er bikes......

Tiny K Posted April 26, 2011 Share check how Burry's bike bounces off his helmet after going down..... I would not have gotten up after that fall. Well done Burry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted April 26, 2011 Share Shouldn't this topic be:"What brakes does burry Stander use?" and then we debate for two weeks about aluminium rotors, front wheel grip and cosmic fallout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted April 26, 2011 Share Shouldn't this topic be:"What brakes does burry Stander use?" and then we debate for two weeks about aluminium rotors, front wheel grip and cosmic fallout Nothing wrong with a failure analysis that we can all learn from? In this case: redundancy pays off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted April 26, 2011 Share And nobody cares about why he fell the firs time. Which tyres at what pressure. Nobody else had this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janneman72 Posted April 26, 2011 Share wheres the 'clip' ? That's what Burry said before he went over the handle bars because he couldn't see the 'klip' with those 29er wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 26, 2011 Share That's what Burry said before he went over the handle bars because he couldn't see the 'klip' with those 29er wheels.janneman, you're funny!Briliant! BTW, is Burry going to travel the whole circuit of the World Champs? Anyone knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted April 26, 2011 Share So its not the 29er wheels, but the 1x10 gruppo that cost him? (ps. If he plannes to ride all the climbs on that route in the big blade, he must have been feeling in ok shape ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted April 26, 2011 Share Quick!!! Everybody go and buy 26" tubbie wheels - Schurter won on them... So 26" tubbies in first, 26 tubeless in second and 29 tubeless in third... To me it suggests the difference between the 3 is minimal. Schurter's line down the rock garden was super fast - Absalon and Kulhavy not so much. Made more difference than the wheels did I reckon.. Burry's crash - holy jeebers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted April 26, 2011 Share janneman, you're funny!Briliant! BTW, is Burry going to travel the whole circuit of the World Champs? Anyone knows? I'm sure he will ride the whole World Cup circuit, that's what he won in 2009. The World Champs are one race only, do or die... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted April 26, 2011 Share So its not the 29er wheels, but the 1x10 gruppo that cost him? It actually sounds like it was an error in judgement, choosing the wrong line through some rockery, that cost him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted April 26, 2011 Share the benefits of letting go of the bars. thanks burry. (I believe) You doing it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted April 26, 2011 Share Looked like a little too much front brake to me?? Might a 26er have carried on rolling as it requires less momentum to make a revolution (as in rotation, not rebellion or transformation)? I'm with flymango on the brake thing.. wrong brake i'd hazard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
