Hey Charles, indeed - in order to go down for prolonged time, you firstly need to go up, haha! And that - not always is an easy thing to do: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w88zedI5BXU.html Tires pressure is a delicate topic, which everyone has their own opinions, but for tech terrain going with anything more sounds like bouncing around:)

@@christianwibroerasmussen6143 TBH I think it has signifcant affect. I am considering maybe trying -30 with shorter stem, but have to do same calculations first.

Hi Thomas! How much psi is in your nude and with how much sag do you go? Do you use full travel with this setup on a usual / gnarly round? I run about 160psi at my 78kg (incl. Gear): sag is ok, also feels ok... but i never use full travel (maybe 2/3 to 3/4). Should i go lower with the pressure, what do you think?
@tom10crafted
@tom10crafted 18 дней назад
Hey man, I am a bit heavier (82kg without gear), and I tend to go around 165psi when it is more technical. On faster marathons I even add 5-10more. Honestly don't look into sag setup anymore, as I pretty much used to the feeling based on the psi's listed ! If you don't use full travel, then absolutely try reducing the air by 2psi or so until you reach the point where o-ring gets few mm from falling up
@danytheunicorn95

rolling resistance changes on technical terrain, wider tires roll faster over rocks, because they absorb the impacts better and bounce less. Also more grip, less slip, so it is terrain dependant.
@tom10crafted

@tom10crafted
@tom10crafted 21 день назад
Hey James, thanks! In last two years I had 10+ flights - zero issues, no damages, nothing. Disc rotors has their own compartment on side pockets (more rigid area to protect them). For derailleur - it is a good notice. However, when wheels are added into luggage, basically there is no room for something to go wrong there - maybe it could be ideally duct taped to prevent from free movement. Other than that - no concerns there.

@tom10crafted
@tom10crafted 21 день назад
@@jamesturner9858 I never remove air from suspension, keeping it as is. With tires - I reduce it a bit, but not totally flat. It also helps a great deal when adding 2.4 tires into compartments - I guess 2.5 would be absolute limit for proper insertion. In regards to weight, bag is bit shy under 10kg, with bike it is about 21kg. The main annoying factor is if some airlines allows 25kg limit (majority in europe 32kg, thankfully) So with 32kg, you are free to add extras like shoes, apparel, etc. With 25kg limit, you have to wiggle around more:)

Miss Calderon has the perfect height for standing climbs. Her legs are perfectly vertical when she cycles downward, which liberate tension on her knees. She leans heavily forward her handles when climbing, which put her parallel to the pedals, also preventing leaning backward. And finally she doesn't sway her bike too much, it's more her body that does the left to right movement. In the long run, I wonder she won't have shoulders or wrist issues. Not sure any bigger person can keep this position for long. Happy her crash wasn't serious. Still daunted by the lack of officials. I have seen more of them in races in Argentina/Michigan. There not UCI.

Didn't notice the difference too much myself apart from in the early downhill sections where it was a bit crowded, since it was over 60 starting groups / pools back in 2014.. The organization is still really good with lots of drink stations and such, even the "surprise" raisins and the malted beer which has energy but isn't everyones taste..

That is a very good notice man! Arriving to such race from flatlands two days before guarantees hard time on climbs - simply because it started off at 1100m already, with peak summits of 2000m+. Especially on S2 at the top it was deadly.
