Rushdee Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 bliksim, imagine how much faster he would've gone on a 29er..
Patchelicious Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Doesn't even have a vertically mounted shock!
Thor Buttox Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 That thing would be towed up to speed and then released for the oke to pedal. So it's probably only good for the downhill okes on shuttle day.
s14phoenix Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 And in an unbelievable twist it also has a "long" stem and short bars on a triple tree fork fitted to a hardtail!!!
Rocket-Boy Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 She slipstreamed behind a car to get that record. Smaller wheels get up to speed faster but they dont stay there for as long.
Patchelicious Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 And in an unbelievable twist it also has a "long" stem and short bars on a triple tree fork fitted to a hardtail!!!So there goes Myles' stance that if you want to go faster, you need wider bars and shorter stems.... Man I wish there was a silver bullet to this Cycling thing!
Headshot Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 That thing would be towed up to speed and then released for the oke to pedal. So it's probably only good for the downhill okes on shuttle day.Except it seems to lack rear suspension and was designed to be pedaled on a flat surface. Mens speed record is apparently 162 mph...
Hairy Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 might be a case of smaller wheel = stronger wheel .... last thing you want at those speeds is a wheel collapsing.
shaper Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 A single speed I see... so what the gear ratio?
Headshot Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 might be a case of smaller wheel = stronger wheel .... last thing you want at those speeds is a wheel collapsing.wonder how a 26 front and 17 at the back would work :-)
Surv0MTB Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Motocycle wheels/rims and brakes as far as I know? Think they confirmed this. If Nino rides a 29r now, pretty much everywhere, I think that says enough.
