I have an idea for a new thread...

The roadie in me wants to ride up it, the mountain biker in me wants to ride down it.

 

So on balance, I will just sit on my donkey and look at the screen while pretending to work.

 

Ride your road bike to the top then get your missus to hand you your mtb (fitted with faaaat slicks) and smash it down!

Now the Mountain biker in me looks at it and says there needs to be a bush line

I know the engineer who died. It is very sad, and he was a good man. 

It would have been his last flight before retirement. 

Shame man. Being in the aviation field this hit home hard. Was he sitting in the cockpit? From the pictures I saw of the cabin I was surprised there was only 1 fatality.

If I were to follow the bush line, I can see a helicopter extraction somewhere in the deep valley as marked by the arrow.

Women should stay at home and home school kids, women shouldn't go to college and get an education, women must keep their bodies covered.....she sounds like the Taliban

Majka is so lucky Naesen wasn't riding with disk brakes. Imagine the damage that would have caused.

TBH I can't imagine the damage disk brakes would have caused, because there's no indication that a disk would have come anywhere near him.

 

In fact, I have yet to see evidence that disks cause injuries to the extent that people should fear them. This concern about disk brakes is a bit like the concerns people use to express about seat-belts when they first appeared (I'll be trapped in my car when I crash into the river!").

 

Personally, I've not been hurt by a disk brake, but I have been "chain-sawed" in the leg by my own chain-ring in a crash. That one did hurt, I can tell you.

Majka is also lucky he was in the big chainring. That could have gotten proper ugly if Naesen was a bit lower!

Phew, so it’s not just me… I also didn’t understand what the issue with the disc brakes would be?

agreed.

Well if it does become a safety concern, they could always develop a little carbon fibre gaurd to cover the edges of the disc. Hmmmmm, thinking of all my mtb crashes.... Didnt get sliced once by a disc

Reminds me of the Redbull Road Rage had a few years ago. They wanted to see who could descend a tarred mountain pass the quickest. They invited downhillers, xc racers and roadies.

Most of the dh guys fitted slicks to their dh bikes and wore full dh gear.

The first winner in 2005:

MTB Legent Myles Rockwell on a stock standard GT road bike.

You can be quicker on your road bike!
