  • After qualifying through the heats, this video shows my view of the Folding bike final. 40 of the fastest competitors started with a 100 meter run to our folded bikes, we had to unfold and then sprint for 6 laps. Unfortunately for me my chain dropped off with less than a lap to go... Awesome fun though, the crowd were amazing & the course was nice & challenging, although fairly rough! (especially for 16" Brompton wheels) Bring on the Brompton World champs in London on the 1st August :-)
    Thanks for watching.

    Those barrier posts jutting out from the sides were making me anxious, especially how close they came on some of those corners! That race was intense! 😬😬

      LD800 Oh, did they have other bike races on the course too? Just thought it's a lot of work for just one type of bike!

    • @JoeAchilles1
      @JoeAchilles1  9 лет назад +1

      LD800 Yeah there were plenty of other bike categories from penny farthings to proffesional team Sky tour riders on regular road bikes. If you search "Jupiter Nocturne" you will see what I mean. Great spectacle and race, cant wait for next year :-) Cheers

    I can't wait for my bike to arrive now, it's not a Brompton but it's still a folding bike and after watching this video I really want a join a race with other folding bikes now, It's looks like a lot of fun! Great camera angle by the way I honestly felt like I was the one racing with so much adrenaline, sucks that your chain got loose at such an important part of the race, o well better luck next time :)

    Gripping! I felt my heart sink with the derailing. Still, just gripping stuff! Didn't know you could go fast on these things. lol

    You have to pump a bit harder on the uphill, but on the down hill the super light bike is soooo nice.

    That race looked fun. You were doing well until the chain fell off. I was hoping you beat the guy in the gray shirt. He blocked you most of the race.

    But I must say, you are flying. =)

    • @JoeAchilles1
      @JoeAchilles1  9 лет назад +3

      Tito Paz Its a Brompton. I stupidly removed the chain guard to save a few grams of weight, removing this meant my chain could come off easier... I won't do that next year.

    • @TitoPazWho
      @TitoPazWho 9 лет назад +1

      that race race left us breathless. =) I used to be a road bike rider. I stopped for more than a decade for personal reasons. But now I am looking forward to having my own folding bike this third quarter. And probably have some fun as you all do there =) best health be upon you all and your family.

  • @ursache1979

    what handlebar and grips do you have? the bike is "M" model? do you have other mods ? thank you, nice ride !

    • @JoeAchilles1
      @JoeAchilles1  9 лет назад +1

      +George Ursache The bars are - Deity Components Villain 3's, the give me a great position on my M type Brompton, lower than the regular bar but higher than a S type set up. The grips are actually spares from my Saracen mountain bike, basically standard lock on mountain bike grips. Cheers man

      some day I'll be there.
      I enjoy too much watching your rice in a folding bike.
      some months ago I bought a folding bike, but in mexico, where I live, in the border with Texas it's not common use of this kind of bike...

    • @redrabbit214
      @redrabbit214 9 лет назад

      Joe Achilles But doesn't that give that person an advantage over the majority of people in the race since that person would have a full sized bike whilst the majority of others would have the smaller, traditional folding bikes?
