Ebbs Down

smileyman · 09-19-2008, 12:35 PM

Um geared down is an understatment..I know the 1 down/2 up formula is popular but that is a big difference from stock. I am running 15/45 on an original 15/43 bike and it is noticeable, so I am guessing your 14/45? That makes first gear like Stage One of a shuttle launch!

Glad you're all right dude. I've had 7 get-offs in my riding career. None are fun, but you usually learn something from them.

Thankfully I haven't gone down for that reason. I had a too fast/gravel/target fixation lowside, hit by a car, speed/painted line highside, oil leak lowside, hit by another car, lowside in T1 at JGP, lowside in T10 JGP. First one was in '03, last one was two weeks ago sunday.
