Ride Report and Questions.
Hi all
I have just returned from a very nice ride up in Castle Coch, Cardiff, UK. It was a killing climb followed by an ultra fast fire road downhill ( i couldnt pedal anymore on the 44t 11t gear...i dont know how many km/h that is)....the discs where smoking afterwards and they are still bedding in.... anyway....
My questions are....i am 200lbs....i have complaints about my fork...manitou axel elite...medium spring....i got 50 to 60% shag...totally unacceptable... will the stiffer spring rectify the problem or should i get a black or minute fork?
My tires are veeeeery slow....roll-x 2.0 ....i am thinking about micheling comp s light or panaracer trailblaster pro 2.1 .
Any suggestions and advice is most welcome...i am in a hurry to change those....either getting a stiffer fork spring or wait and raise money to get another fork....but the tires suck....
thanks in advance for the helpfull answers...
Yannis.
