What's your top speed?

pretty sure me, marco, toby, harry, marcus, adam, nick and ev hit 35-40 mph on our way through the limehouse link tunnel today on a big downhill section, fastest ive ever been and fucking mental, i was spinning out to the MAX!

booshiit.

thats what you think ask any of them...
i dont think ive ever been so scared in my life........infact, i can prove it, anyone wanna do it themselves come the limehouse link is CRAZY

some context for my (affectionate cos I know you are fast and can spin) response..

ok so i hit 39.8mph at Calshot on Saturday on 81" (45 x 15 and 166 rpm) this led to some interesting cornering lines and a 9.42 lap time, Legro hit 38.something and did a lap time of 9.41 shows how importent the right line is on a track for a quick tt time.

I got 34.6 MPH going downhill over the weekend with 48-18. I can nudge 30 on the flat for a very short time.

I think the difference between 30mph and 34 mph let alone 35-40mph is fairly severe at our kind of gearing, at least where I am at the moment. I'm about where last_caress is in what I've managed to clock myself doing - downhill at 33 mph on 46/17 on the Rye ride last autumn I was wobbling like fuck - and after distracting myself to look down at the speedo I was a couple of crank turns away from catapulting into a hedge. I also suffered a bit for the remaining fifty-five miles as I pulled a few muscles spinning out like that going downhill. On the flat it's a bit easier to hit 30 and stay in control but not for very long for (I imagine) most riders in a typical mid-way gearing such as 70".

I don't see the point of people posting only their best geared times though, it's a different game altogether.
