jrussell Posted December 21, 2009 Share Yeah I think hes boxxer cant handle all that speed, also if the wheels are too heavy, they could pull the stantions right out of the boxxer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted December 21, 2009 Share no more weight plus gravity = more rolling resistance = less speed, also leaves you with less control which leads to Jason rapped around a tree. . .again  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrussell Posted December 21, 2009 Share Murray you should worry more about air resistance than rolling resistance, (IE dont worry about rolling resistance) the friction change in 240g is nowhere near noticable, plus we always accelarating on a DH trail basicly, you might notice the rolling resistance a little if you were to go on a perfectly flat 100m stretch of tar road where 240g might stop you 5meters earlier......Ive only hit a tree once cause i took a jump sque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
