Thanks guys.....I've just come off my 96 hours on duty, and will go and give it a go today with the pressures up......the front was at 27psi and the rear about 25. I've put them up to 50 for now, and will let a bit out halfway round the route, to about 40psi. It was superb in the Gloop, but struggled on the flat to maintain the kind of speed that I normally ride at.
It might look a bit hooligan, but I'm not sure my 43 year old legs are!
Don't get me wrong, I like to give it a good leathering, but my days of big drop offs are behind me!
I don't even understand some of the terms now! What the fuck is 'gravity'? Isn't it just downhill? I like the look of pump tracks though.....they look a giggle. Any nearby?
I'm just going to have fun with it, but want it a bit lighter....
