In my lastest topic in a series of amaturish and most likely annoying questions
, I ask about leaning on my road bike.
I work monday and tuesday so don't have time for a decent cycle, instead I go 'strength training', which is essentially cycling up steep hills in a high gear and trying to increace my muscle strength.
Anyway, as I was desending one of my hills today I came across a sharp curve! and breaked to navigate it safetly...however, I thought back to the Tour and knew that they did such turns a lot faster! So the next time I went down the hill I did so at 30km (18mph) and increaced my speed again to 34km (20mph).
To end my ranting, at what angle and speed can I take a corner without loosing my wheel grip?
Note: my back tire is a £17 Kevlar jobby, my front is a stock Kenda. My tire width is 25.
Thanks!
