my 2 DB bikes see almost all of their miles in Vermont.
steep, sometimes twisty, and/or technical class-4 road, not too long descents, that often times require a rapid deceleration.
i find myself having to apply continuous grip on the levers for quite a while to keep speeds low, because of steep, twisty, technical conditions.
i don't ride in wet weather
