Congratulations on the bike, it's great to get the bike you want, especially at a great price  I feel for you coming off over mabie as I to am sitting here nursing a heavily bruised thigh. Hubbys birthday at the weekend and we went to Llandegla, but before we went I thought it it was funny to write on his facebook wall "happy bithday darling, be careful at degla today because injuries will take longer go heal now you're getting old". Of course when I came off on just after a berm on the back section before that big board walk thing he thought it was hilarious  I don't know how but the handle bars landed beneath me, I swear you can see an imprint of the specialized logo in the bruise  hope you heal up soon and I'm loving the bike . hoping someone else could get a bargain too . |

Sounds like you are having fun, trouble with having a better bike is that sometimes the bike is better than you. ..I should know! I take it you have fell off yours then .only ever fell off my lapierre 3 tes in about 30 rides and now I have fallen off new bike twice in 1 day .sore today but still want to go out today but have to watch petrol costs lol . |

I have made falling off the Chief into an art form.....way too much bike for this Brummie oaf but the damned thing demands to be ridden fast.
I think that's the problem.  |

maybe i should put the carbon bars back on when my carbon paste arrives. Had 2 offs today completing full Mabie Red . already got a deep scratch on top of bars now . first fall was an over the bar job and second was a side job hitting a huge root thinking i could go over it and down it ..steep drop and bike stopped dead and went into a fallen down tree sideways and bars went into the roots of the tree . firsr fall hurt more though . Does it mean I'm getting better lol by falling off more because im going faster and getting more and more confident ..saying about confidence it was shattered after that second fall . I nearly come off descender bender too , how i stayed on the bike i will never know .. You will be going quicker and maybe at times above your skill level. It's how you learn.  If in doubt, flat out. CMc. I only had a small off, slow speed the other day and it dented my confidence. Best thing is to attack it again. Couple of runs and you'll be reet. It's also getting to know the bike too which i have not done yet only 2 rides in so far . will be going to kielder forest on Friday and apparently not as technical and more downs . |
