The photos above were taken at roughly 28-30mph. Fastest on road, just over an indicated 50mph.
The pedals are fine as they are, as is the rest of the bike. I don't need to keep finding and making changes, for changes sake.
In the day time, myself and my mates have a fairly level playing field on down hill speed, to the extent that we are often level pegging on Strava stats. Having said that, I'd say that they have the edge. I really love night riding though, and find that all of my fastest times are set then. My off road riding is generally more about exploring than speed. As said before, I also reckon that dongles for off road use are just a waste of time and money. They aren't needed. Looking at anyone's average off road Strava stats will confirm that one.
Although a very short run down hill, I guess that this is a pretty average down hill speed off road on a good surface. This one is a bit frustrating as due to dog walkers and children, you can only ride it fast at night time. Riding it in daylight hours, you can only ride as fast as you can see ahead to stop. The oak tree on the left at 38 secs also catches many people out. You daren't look at it, or it's game over. I never even used to notice it, until someone once annoyingly pointed it out.
This other short one is possibly one of the most technical. It has taken me two years to reach the 2nd spot on Strava for it, and that is out of nearly 300 riders. I still need to find 11 seconds, but the track is now just in such a state that it is getting to the point of being dangerous trying. The record was set over three and a half years ago, and my average speed down it is 21mph, and I need 26mph. Like everyone else that I know, none of us has ever taken the same line twice, and I conceded a few weeks ago, to pack it in trying. Very bumpy narrow rutted routes, with a seemingly endless amount of small drops.
Same run on my KTM Ultra 1964 hardtail pedal bike. This run blew the seals Rockshox Reba front fork.
