I think I can probably eek out a few more mph, I didn't start trying until halfway down the hill. 
Soldato
Set my PB on the road today, hit 50mph on a downhill, only double the speed limit
Nice. Pics of the hill next time?
Soldato
Only about an 8% grade I think, just nice and straight for just under a mile. No way I'd be trying to carve switchbacks at that speed
Soldato
I have to say I really like these silver treks
I like your Remedy 9 too
Why the different tyre's wiiija?
I take it the 'Racing Ralph' has better rolling ability?
Yeh lower rolling resistance on the ralph, perfect for local riding (apart from certain places where the clay/mud is a foot deep at the moment). I have another nic for the rear though for our coed y brenin trip in a couple of months.
Standard non UST but I'm running them tubeless with some stans sealant, works a treat and no punctures

oh man, just been out for ride and our little run has been trashed, all the north shore stuff has been ripped down along with the 7ft jump (btw I never tried that one) loads of stuff dumped in landing areas of the what jumps are left 
Soldato
Really sad to hear things like that! I just cant understand why people would do it tbh!
Soldato
Some twit hurt himself on one of my old local North shore trails and sued the Forresty commision, as a result...no more investment in the whole country due to being afraid of being sued!
Soldato
Thats worse! What did he do? Break a nail or something?
Soldato
He broke an arm or something along those lines. I was gutted when I found out as there was soo many plans for development at the time, that plus the recession means no more investment unless it is privatly funded. Oh well, Glentress will have to do!

Don't they have insurance?
DAFF (Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries) fund all the trails and DH tracks over here providing they can get insurance. They're going to be building another DH track at South Barrule once they get the insurance, should be done by the summer with a bit of luck.

I don't know the ins and outs of it but it was an "unofficial" area where the guy hurt humself.
Got the LBS to weigh the Heckler tonight:- 30.84lbs!! Not too bad for a 6" travel bike built up to take some abuse.
