Capricorn Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 what time are the events starting DHK? and exactly how much of a world champs is this event? is it going to be like the Baseball world series, where only the americans, and the americans in japan faced off and crowned themselves world champs? or what?
DownhillingKing Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 I don't know I can't go as I'am studying but I might convince my dad to let me go see the morewoods.
louis0852 Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Why only down there, why don't morewood come to Gauteng for a change
Capricorn Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 louis: didu speak with Jruss about that stem?
Capricorn Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 No my friend it is not as a mx bike. mtb wheels doesn't have the weight ie-moment of inertia to make such a difference in how a bike reacts in the air. The bike is only controlled by how you shift your weight when you hit the jump. i'll try to find the link of a video clip of how to jump. good luck. GT RulesThere is a very simple way to disprove that assertion above: lock your bike in a bike stand' date=' preferably at the seat post or top tube, crank it a little bit to get the rear wheel up to a speed, and then hit the rear brake. Tell me which way your bike wants to jump off the stand? [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley2.gif[/img]Handspin the front wheel to try the test with that wheel.
Capricorn Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 same thing as the rear wheel? yes. But i think you already knew that. It was just something I thought of for Bakkies to test out for himself.

Please read again. "mtb wheels doesn't have the weight ie-moment of inertia to make such a difference in how a bike reacts in the air." Of course will the bike jump around without weight on it when you hit the brakes. This is were the difference comes in. the weight of a wheel compared to the the human body and a motorbike wheel. The question is how much moment of inertia is generated! If you want i'll mail you a handbook on moment of inertia. The brake thing on a mtb will hardly be noticeable. Good luck with physics101
Capricorn Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 nvm. Send the book instead. i need some coloring-in practice. Capricorn2009-11-30 13:51:41

Capricorn Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 DHK, or anyone else that was there, how was the onewheelerWorldChamps at Tokai this past Sunday? I was camped out at Camps Bay Sunday afternoon. It was bloody awesome, water was actually warm.
darnijl Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 ...and the Morewood story? Promo? Free test-riding? Yes/No?
