I have been gradually clocking up some km's and on the first real steep hill I have been down I certainly experienced what seemed like floating sensation of my wheels, kinda as if I were on rollers. The thought of this occuring over a stray stone or loose ashphalt was a worry.
Anything to be concerned about? Is a thing with tubs? or do most track/fixed bikes esperience this down hills?
I was going pretty fast and trying to ensure my pedal stroke was as smooth as possible to prevent it form getting outta hand but I certainly was aware of the movement and had to keep it in check....
BTW, no brakes, not an urban route at all, no other cyclists aorund, high vis and 1/2 a lane to ride in during 95% of my time on this ride...
