was neat, watched most all of it
Iv been using a water bottle so far and finding myself going through it with ease. Iv been researching camelbak packs and it seems to have sold me. I will be directing my wife tomorrow in the purchasing of one for me for Xmas at REI. 😉 They are pricey though… i hope there "got your back" warranty is solid!
Thanks for all the info. The term i used bucked off, im more meaning having to ditch my bike for whatever reason threw me off balance and or skidding out on a turn and picking myself up off the ground. Just tried generalizing it. After reading some of these replies it got me looking into fitting my bike for me. Iv not really done this yet and found a few checklist ill try to go through this weekend. My hands become sore quick so i read i must be hold my weight forward to much. The stem my be my first upgrade. @ brain w. i have been reading all the benefits of clips but feel a bit under skill yet?? I just read the (101 READ THE PATH AHEAD) article and found it describes my ridding style thus far. As to being- Short-sighted view, looking at the next obstacle and reacting quickly all ride just could be fatiguing me quickly. I do ride with a group of new riders and there are a couple of experienced riders that have introduced us to new trails. Ill have to focus on some question to ask them when i get to see them next.
The size is a 19"
The stem reads 105mm 15 degree
And me and braking is a on going learning process for sure. They have been set loose so that i can feel the full pull to stop. Because i told him they lock up quick and easily. The braking advice to me thus far is that "the front wheel does two thing turn and brake and not both at the same time". Yes again i have definitely threshold braked a couple of these dumps.
