descending Pico de Las Nieves like a pro
Massive dredge but wtf. You descended a 45km climb fixed? Brakeless? I found it hard enough with gears.

Nah that was the roadie. I have a horrible habit of becoming speedblind on long descents. I basically constantly get faster untill I run out of talent. Got all kinds of silly over 45km.
I do descend local Mountains fixed, 41:26, With a front brake. Its really easy to Control Your speed With Your legs. But on the longer ones you find Your thighs are mush when youre finished.

I'll youtube it tonight.
I have a decent front tub, and a half worn rear I've done a few hard skids on (descending Pico de Las Nieves like a pro), which also has a can of sealant in it.
I'll probably do a few more weeks on those. Then whip them off, and pack the front Down as a spare for long rides.
Basically I'm itching to get my FMBs on as spring seems to be kicking in (well its meant to be snowing at the end of the week. But everythings relative).
