mack_turtle Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Nothing wrong with doing an endo, so long as you stay on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throet Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Speaking of endos, what do you think the chances are of one occurring here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxagent Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I would not expect an endo from that picture. If they have any forward momentum at all they should land on the ramp, not on the lip. A few years ago I was endo'ing at least once per ride. I had a bike fit and they lowered my seat almost an inch. I quit endo'ing. Than about a year later I started endo'ing again. I thought someone had raised my seat as a joke. That was not the problem. Eventually figured out my forks were leaking. I started checking the air pressure before a ride. No more endo's. (Replaced the fork seals a week later.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering that their bottom bracket on the takeoff I am going with the fact that there is 0 momentum to be had here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got bit on Rattlesnake, which was the one that caught me most by surprise. The other two were attempting a couple of tricky sections that I knew were high risk, so not much of a surprise. No biggie. All were slow and as controlled as endos can be. Mostly the result of learning the characteristics of a new (to me) bike; getting to know limits.

Cafeend Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Speaking of endos, what do you think the chances are of one occurring here? Looking at the bottom of the wheel in relation to the height of the lip I will say pretty good likelyhood.Physics man...physics Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tip Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) So your personal best is three endos. Fine and good, but what is the KOM amount on that segment? You can do it! Edited February 20, 2019 by The Tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a fun thread to take a moment to laugh about things. Here's something that is a bit laughable. I FINALLY decided to upgrade my ride. This "new" bike I recently picked up (2014 Pivot 429 Carbon) replaces my 2001 Trek Fuel 80. As you can imagine, EVERYTHING is different. So I'm in process of refining a few of my very "old school" skills. One of the biggest adjustments has been getting used to disc brakes! I know, right? lol This bike is friggin' phenomenal! After the first ride I felt the need to cut down the bars just a tad and go to different grips. After the second ride I determined that lower gearing was in order - it came with a 1x10 32/36 setup. I dropped the front to a 30, which is better but still need a little more. Installing a 42T cassette this evening. With that change I think I'll have it setup just right. 🙂 Edited February 20, 2019 by zrx24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for nothing I think it was because he isnt running bar ends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
