Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Take a careful look at this day 3 pic and imagine riding this blind and as fast as you can...DROOOOOOOOL!!! Okay, being honest with myself, I'd be super slow, mainly cos I'd be blown from the liaison. But sooo much fun on those trails!

banna Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 This is what you don't experience here and when you get there its all over. Steepness that goes on and on... Eish. My fear of heights will definitely prevent me from entering.
Iwan Kemp Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Eish. My fear of heights will definitely prevent me from entering. You enter at the bottom so it won't be a problem!

Headshot Posted June 27, 2016 Author Posted June 27, 2016 Lau's winning bike. Interesting set up. 2x Di2 and Saint brakes. Tells you something about the trails - steep up and very steep down. http://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/WINNING-BIKE-Nico-Laus-Cube-Stereo-140-29,10244/WINNING-BIKE-Nico-Laus-Cube-Stereo-140-C-68-29,107614/sspomer,2

As for the 2x11, the whole Cube team was on that and he said the stuff he rode out, they rode next to each other (he was in Nico Lau and Gregg Callaghan's pod) and the stuf he pushed up, they all pushed up, except for Lau, who grinded up everything.So not really a definitive benefit on the gears it seems, since they still pedalled up at a decent click and by the sound of it seldom took a "spin it to win it" approach.
