Dammit’s adventures in mountain biking

Now for the fork

Are you taking the Shockwiz to Morzine?

Nah, I'll trust the shop to set the bike up.

Tyres at 40 psi and sag at 0% then

Mmmm, plush

Negative sag

Negative sag

I've been called worse

Tyres at 40 psi and sag at 0% then

AKA "Alpine config".

Never seen the read out tables before for suspension tuner.

What does distance measured in "ms" equate to ? meters-per-second ? or an odd phrase for cm.

The running tally of air time must be the next strava :) and Deep compression incidents used to be called casing it badly, flat landing, hucked it, or bottomed out badly :)

I believe it's milliseconds - the ShockWiz doesn't know how far you've gone, only how long has passed between the suspension unloading and then compressing again.

I've got 50 psi more in the shock now than when it was bottoming out, or 150% of the pressure I had before.

It does feel more stable now, albeit I've ridden it for ~35 minutes with the current setup.

Ok, my hotel in Morzine is booked, I've got kit, I've booked the bike, I need to buy my Chunnel ticket and finalise my route but we're deffo getting there.

Did you get goggles, to complete the look?

Milliseconds is still mark of measurement. Was curious.

to think only... what 8 years, 5 years ago (can't remember when they wound down) you could book a data logging day with K9 industries and this was bolt on logger units to fork and shock and a fella on a computer translating the data after each test run, something for the serious racers to do on the quiet :)

Go back even further and Mojo did similar for there products, and further back again to the Sunn Chippie race team who took a Formula 1 approach and tested all the things and pretty much won all the races.
Now you have dinky do-dads and a phone app and can do it yourself cheaper. :)

Did you get goggles, to complete the look?

Have you tried these in a Fox Proframe?

Not all goggles work with all helmets.
For example, I bought Fox goggles thinking they’d definitely fit my Fox Proframe. Jimbilly has now got a free pair of Fox goggles

I don't think I was ever rad / fast enough to wear goggles :(

Full face helmet + regular glasses = reverse enduro?

Nope, that's why I'm buying stuff now, so I can send it back if it doesn't work, rather than slinging the packaging in the bin and riding in it, then being unable to do anything with it other than gift it to someone else.

No one can tell how fast I go when I'm wheeling the bike around, and when I'm shredding the gnar I don't care what they think.

I'm always impressed by the number of people with full-face/bins/body-armour at Swinley, I've only just stopped wearing Rapha CX kit with some Swrve shorts.

Knee pads very slightly too large, elbow pads feel nicely snug, helmet ridiculously orange.

Because of course

The gating factor to be rocking basic pads should be gap jumps or welsh rock gardens

Simply to get an appearance in the Golf Club Bar (GCB) thread, is the CC worth the additional £$£$ over the C, in terms of Santa Cruz frames?

All the other Santa Cruz owners at Swinley Forest car park will laugh at you if you get the C version.

Sacre bleu!
