Frosty Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 91.4Km/h on a tandem, as well as a single bike (twice). Need to find someone to slip so I can slingshot to a higher speed. I know I’ve been faster, on the M19 on the Tour Durban race, but that was before the days of GPS... Polar showed 101Km/h. Wheel circumference was dialed in, so the speed was fairly accurate.

Robbie Stewart Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) I have done 65km/h on a tar downhill on the MTB and that was fast enough already. All that went through my mind was that if one comes down and that speed with only baggies and a cycling shirt you are going to have a few roasties to brag about. 84 km/h on the Simola descent to Knysna during Karoo to Coast on my Spez Camber wearing 2.30" Purgatory and Ground Control. edit - I very nearly lost it understeering into one of the bends. The rubber only just managed to hold on... Descending Hellshoogte into Stellies, I reached about 78km/h right beside the armco barrier, and all that went through my mind was how that steel barrier will slice me should I end up sliding down it....

Rigardt@Scott Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 92kph, 19mm tyres, steel frame, plenty plenty youthful ignorance. Ok just watched the clip He has huge brass ones. 93kp/h, Tour Durban, 2006 or 2007 (can't recall). Also youthfully ignorant, but at least on 23mm tyres! But in a very straight line....
Spinnekop Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Straight line, short downhill in Pretoria last week on 25mm Conti........95.This Covid lyfie has to count for something! Top end is still 113km/h behind a truck on some piece of road I was not suppose to be on. Edited September 7, 2020 by Spinnekop Long Wheel Base and Frosty 2
Frosty Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Straight line, short downhill in Pretoria last week on 25mm Conti........95.This Covid lyfie has to count for something! Top end is still 113km/h behind a truck on some piece of road I was not suppose to be on.Trucks traveling at the right speed, on a good surface (no potholes) don’t come by on every ride, so it’s nice to be able to suck wheel when it does. 67km/h is my current best behind a truck before running out of gears to stay in the slip. I can’t imagine 113. Long Wheel Base 1
Bateleur1 Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 94 km/h, in the slip of a bus down Eeufees Road in Pretoria. Many moons ago though.
