40MPH at last!

[Steve UKLSRA]

54mph downhill on the wifes Specialized SX, but we both run Hope Tech 3 V4 203/203 brakes so no problem stopping from that speed...it's still on her lcd as max top speed and she'd not be happy if ever she presses the button by accident and sees it

62.4Mph down a 20% hill with crappy Promax Decipher brakes.
Luckily there is a 23% uphill at the end to slow me down.

Impressive, but scary!. I think I would need to be on a mountain with a stiff drink before i attempted that.

The roads in Kent are so bad it would be suicide to attempt it.

Looks like the gauntlet has been thrown, lots of vids and receipts for medical expenses if it goes wrong please.

i have got just over 50mph at the forest going down the back of the fire roads and that steep ass descent at the quarry with a massive fkn rock at the end.

i burnt out a rear disc brake and fooked my xd hub lol.

48mph so far - like SW down a forest track, puddles were to be avoided after making the mistake of going through (albeit a shallow) one....

MT07 huge brakes anchored me up fine though.

The gauntlet is well and truly thrown now then.... I need to find a steeper hill.

Just when A & E can't cope!

I'm opting out. I'm scared of downhill speed, and more of the missus giving me grieve if I fall off bike again

you fall off going that fast n you be going home in a bucket with what is left of the bike

tho tbh i have never fell off going fast and have always lost the front end when i do?

Nice to see you posting your routes again. I have always found them interesting and very impressed at the distance covered. Keep posting

If you join my Electric bike club on Strava you will find all my rides and those from 76 other members.
I will put a link on when I get on my laptop.
I am currently converting a Marin Muirwoods with a BBSHD and 64Ah of batteries so I expect my trip distances to reach over 100 miles a go this year.

Some nice stats on the strava club page. One person must have at least 2 batteries on them to achieve that ride length, unless there's some Tesla type recharge points in area. That would be cool, especially if you could recharge in say 10 minutes

 

[Kinninvie]

I have 64Ah of batteries fitted so up to 150 miles at a push but my butt would give up first!
Charging normally takes around 2 hours to 90% using 4 Mean well 350-48 bulk chargers.

Didn't know Britney Spears was into mountain biking.
