  • in reply to: Clipless or Flats for technical riding. #72406

    I’ve only been in clips for a few months now. Stirrups were my training wheels, I guess. So, I am still a newbie with the clips and I have the bruises to prove it. After so long in the stirrups, its tough training the mind to tell the feet to go out to the side instead of out and back. I feel, though, that I can tap the power more easily in clips because my feet are more stable. I will vote clips on this one.

    in reply to: Tubeless or Tube #72291

    I gotta apologize for being a jinx by starting this thread with talk about tube or tubeless and flat tires and the such. I was out this Sunday riding with someone who was on tubeless. When all of a sudden his front tire blew off his rim with such a thundering boom that if you were yards away you would think it was a gunshot! He proceeded to slap a tube in and we were on our way again. Stan’s can only do so much. Again, sorry everyone. 😕 [quote][/quote]

    JoeFitz,

    Keep up your speed. Not too fast, but not to slow. Pull up your front tire….and as your back tire hits the log….KEEP PEDALING…. Your crank will drag a bit, but….KEEP PEDALING…. Get back in the saddle as you go over. Get a "Rock Ring" for your crank. You always see blowdowns with teeth marks on them.

    Practice on smaller logs. Next thing you know, your gonna be climbing bigger logs and logs higher off the ground.

    Good Luck
