R7500? lank cheap? errm :unsure:

but getit anyway! :clap: :P

but out of experience, unless u can R8k each time u destroy a set, I hope you have another set of 'daily' wheels that can better take the dings etc. I wen with the Mavic EX 823s as my daily wheelset. It's apparently bombproof as UST wheel sets go.

we both know the pine trees will only throw logs across our paths, so it's not use pedalling all the way up. That's not the point of my trip to tokai. :rolleyes: besides, if gives me the chance to joust back at the fools coming down, who shout pedal up, by shouting back: why dont u ride down!"

Here's a helmet cam vid i made before my first DH race, Worlds View PMB. I did a slow run, so i could learn some lines before the race. You might need to brighten up your screen setting, around the 1:50 mark it gets a little dark in the forest.

GoPro was a bit loose in the mounting box, hence the knocking when landing.
