DieselnDust Posted April 8, 2019 Share Since when can a berm not have a change of radius? I wonder if the lack of outright braking on most marathon bikes is part of the problem. With 160/140 rotors ( for weight ya know) you cant adjust speed as swiftly as proper brakes. This will lead to panic brake dragging through a corner and an even greater liklihood of a slide especially when that develish "radius change" occurs...

DieselnDust Posted April 8, 2019 Share Coming form from an ace at BS, I take that as a compliment. (you shouldn't,.....no really you shouldn't) You been taking lessons from ichball Swerve again? You know full well that if berms are intended to tighten up, that the exit should then be designed to accommodate the rider being higher up on the berm at exit The berm disappearing to nothing but off camber track is just poor design. Don't make excuses for poor design. trail features should be design to maintain the flow of the trail and thus promote riders laying off the brakes for as long as possible. And whats all the issue with peoples disc brakes now. 160/140 is a legitimate gravel bike set up and gravel bikes can ride Tokai too or do you have some rules in the pipeline to get rid of those too because you don't have one? Would you mind displaying your title deed to MTB? I'd really like to see why you think you own MTB and how riders should enjoy it. Crashing often on the land and leaving DNA behind doesn't qualify as title deed. You really sound like a grouchy old man who has never ridden the Epic but dearly dearly wants too but can't because he spent his life campaigning against it and the people who participate in it. There there group hug. Just drop the cash, do the training and post the happy pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
