wow! vamp - where was that pic taken ?

 

[VamP]

It's at the Crawley Wheelers venue for the London League Team Champs at Great Walsted in Sussex last February. It was sooo wet, by the end of the race we were running 2/3s of the circuit.

Thusly.

That's great - never seen a CX circuit where it's possible to get airborne. We need more of those..

What brakes are the pilot using?

 

[VamP]

You don't apply brakes during take off

Plus it shouldnt take a month to buy a bike lol

Jesus, just been told the vapour disc might not be out till November. :'(

I'll rephrase that. What brakes are the pilot not using? They don't look like cantis.

Deffo cantis. Look like one of the Avid Shorty family. I have Shorty Ultimates on both bikes and they are excellent.
