It looks like good fun either device. I am guessing he has studded tires? What a rush that must have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Of course the MTB'er is going to win with 100 yards of flat ground at the end where the SB'er practically stops. Also that SB'er seriously needs to work on his tuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Two iPhone apps (AlpineReplay, MotionX-GPS) say that I've not yet broken 40mph on my mountain bike, but have broken 50mph on both hardboots and softies. Take that! (This is gonna sound strange, but I've not ridden my mtb down a long paved hill, or even wide dirt hill, since before I got my iPhone. Too much god single track around Bend to spend time riding on the roads...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not ride a mountain bike but on my road bike a Wilier Cento 1 best I have done is 45 mph -- I will not atempt to break that. BTW - Mike how have you been? - haven't seen you since you did the wonderful gathering at Bachelor years ago, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
