Guest notmyname Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Still can't get up these freakin short steep climbs image.jpg nice photo op (excuse to take a break)image.jpg image.jpgattack position. If that don't help stand.
Uni Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 attack position. If that don't help stand.I know I psych myself out.. Always think if I lose out of steam half way I'm gonna flip over and it's gonna hurt That's one thing I can't get right. Actually standing up and pedaling.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I see the i23s are built and had their first ride. Nice. First opinions?Very light! Holding up beautifully. I laced them but took them go Andrew @ Stoke to do the final touches. Very nice so far... akneethling 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Went with a whole bunch of mates to paarl for our own shuttle day. 4 hours of shuttle. Awesome. Also did my biggest drop to date - 1.5m or so. I have the skill but it's the confidence holding me back. Felt sooo good to progress beyond my comfort zone and just realise that I am capable of that sort of feature. BSG 1

Need some good momentum approaching it. Correct gear is also very important. You dont want to be in a big gear when you run out of speed halfway up Uni 1

You dont want to be in a big gear when you run out of speed halfway up100% Those steep jobbies are little bastards. Momentum is your friend. Approach at speed and then just as you're about to hit the hill change down rapidly so when your run out of momentum you can carry on powering up them. Often no need to get out the saddle Uni 1
akneethling Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Very light! Holding up beautifully. I laced them but took them go Andrew @ Stoke to do the final touches. Very nice so far...good to hear..... they are pretty much bomb proof.... I've got a set on my 29er HT too....... I've always heard people say " light, strong, cheap...... pick 2 of those options" I found that tge i23's can deliver all 3 options, until recently, unfortunately, the price has gone up.

NixM Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Looks awesome Nix. That zig zag looks like a real beeatch...That was only 1/4 of that climb. You got to a false top looked up and saw that still to go! Very tough race but stunning scenery and some nice single track sections.
BenReaper Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Had a early start to a quick 30km ride this morning.Visited one of our local dams and had some wildlife checking me out as a possible snack.. SwissVan, MrFine, Uni and 3 others 6
Uni Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I'm going tomorrow to get a quote on tubeless. 3rd puncture on 5 rides FFS. Currently sitting at casualty waiting for OH to get stitched up. Wiped at the roundabout at rosemary hill. Seems there's some exposed nails. Ripped his knee open BenReaper 1
AlphaKilo Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Did 61km this morning - Broadacres plus part of Cradle Route return. The longest ride I've done and I'm now really feeling it. [emoji16] The road parts were ok, but the district roads and single track were the bomb! BenReaper and MrFine 2
