The top section is pretty good but the trail needs some serious pruning after the tree

@@pazzer2130 ha tell me about it.

It is!

Pedal hit road, left turn/incline, put right foot to the bottom of rotation. This guy kept his left foot down

When turning left your pedal position should be Left foot at 12 and right foot at 6 o'clock And when going right Left foot 6 and right foot 12 o'clock It makes sure your pedal doesn't hit the ground

@@chrisoneill3373 yep loss of grip on the front tyre. When I look in slow-mo I can see there is a patch of new tarmac in the corner, front tyre seemed to lose grip at the join when going from new tarmac to old tarmac. Don't know if that was the cause or if I just pushed too hard in the damp conditions. Glad you kept it upright, it's scary when someone hits the deck in front of you. I've taken a lot of skin off my left hand side but no other injuries thankfully!

The seats aren't high, the frames and bars are low

Ya do riding bikes. He (the rider) pedaled too soon coming out of the corner at too steep of an angle still and thus “he” clipped a pedal.

Not to mention bottom brackets are a lot lower than they used to be.

if you two actually think he rides 165 cause of cornering clearance, I don’t know you survived this long

@@lovemesomedetail Buddy, you also have no clue why he runs 165. Sure it has benefits in terms of cadence and knee angles. But it absolutely does allow you to pedal sooner exiting a corner, and that’s…pretty damn important.

There's a dozen factors for determining crank length and ground clearance is really low on the list. It's not hard to avoid striking even with 175s

​@@phishphood423Kolego, a ja założę 140 i będę mógł pedałować w zakrętach 😛

@@scottclarke8555 yes I believe it is

having the outside foot down can also improve grip when cornering

Saame!!!

It happened to me the first ride on my winter bike after riding my fixie (proper track bike with a high bottom bracket) all summer. One minute I was making the turn and the next I was on the floor wondering how I got there. I wasn’t going as fast as these guys mind.

Great story

Pretty much common sense

172.5mm

@@MrBruisah go shorter. Tadej and other pros are running 165 for a reason. Bottom brackets are a lot lower than they used to be.

Thanks, ​@phishphood423, for the armchair advice. I seem to be doing OK in my racing, though... 😉

@@MrBruisah No hate! Just noting a trend in the industry as bike geometry changes!

@phishphood423 understood. Crank length is not just dictated by personal preference, though. Leg length is a significant factor, and making suggestions in ignorance of all the data is not insightful or helpful. WvA, for example, is almost the same height as me and happily races on 172.5mm cranks, so the suggestion that everyone should race on shorter (<170?) cranks, regardless, is not a smart one... Pedal strikes happen. When you're used to racing, deciding to pedal through a corner is a calculated risk, and sometimes it results in a strike. No big deal, and it's never caused an off for me...

I mean this genuinely and not being an elitist ass, get a fixie or some other junker bike with thickslick tires and practice skidding. It really helps with how you control your bike in low/no traction scenarios

😆 once is enough to serve as a reminder not to pedal to early when exiting a corner

Hit the crank / pedal, it's pretty common on that corner due to the camber

@@chriscumming5699 Thx. It was nicely saved...

@@1972malberto 😆 for sure

Not sure what crank length he was running, 180mm seems pretty long these days

Likely 172.5
