It's one of my favorites the faster you go the better it gets. Talking about ultimate races does anyone know or have a route on how to get to the Cliffhanger trail in Wellington that was part of the Big five race?

ChrisF Posted April 14, 2023 Share On 3/13/2023 at 11:33 AM, ChrisF said: Those same questions are milling about in my head .... Will have a nice chat with my LBS. 203 discs 4-pod calipers, think it is XT resin pads did go through ONE mud spot a few km earlier. I stopped and washed the mud out of the brakes with water. The trail was clearly marked as "dangerous" with the four red arrows ..... I simply have never before seen anything that LONG. After each turn in the road it just got longer and steeper !! Walking down (after the fall) is was difficult to keep from slipping .... I regularly do the steep decent from the mast to Contermanskloof, thus comfortable in these conditions .... but this one carried on forever and then some ..... Bit of feedback ... Visually everything checks out fine. The rear brake pads show a lot of wear the distance done (previous set lasted twice as long, also Shimano resin pads). Testing: 1. Around the block ... perfect 2. Couple of trail rides .... good. Tests included a number of steep downhills, nothing nearly the lenth of those in Ashton. I tried long slow braking .... I tried fast, then hard braking .... all working perfectly. 3. And then I tested it down Odendaal ..... deliberately picked up more speed at the top, then hard braking in the top half .... started fine, then a horible sound from the rear brakes ... grinding sound. Normal braking fine .... gain speed, then hard braking, again the grinding sound .... Need to take out the brake pads and check the surfaces .... PS - I will replace the pads, and probably the disc. Just trying to understand the symptoms .... just wear and tear ?? Did that mud at the start of the climb, and washing it off with water, contribute to this ? (Though this was just one bad mud patch, not a long muddy ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
