Hi all, I'm not sure where videos go but here's a mate chasing me down Peaty's Steel City DH track in Sheffield. Be kind, I only took up biking in July. LOL.
Bike: Trek rail 5 with various upgrades. I filled the forks and shock with tokens just to try it and it rides like a dream now. 5 tokens in the 38s and 4 in the X2. I've put 60mm raiser bars on and a very short Renthal stem as well as DHF Maxx Grip tyres front and rear. This bike used to buck me over certain jumps when I got it but it now floats over the gaps. I probably should have bought a DH emtb but this thing now does everything I need. Oh and I have DMR V12s and Hope Fortus wheels on too, The question is, what upgrade would you buy next if anything? (Colour coding can come later)
Here's a few more vids:
1. Clearing a gap I said i'd never try:
2. Almost hitting a tree last night:
3.All 3 gaps POV:
4: Trying to keep up with a proper rider:
