What BC Cup DH Racers are running.
The B.C. Cup DH Finals were held on August 27-28th at Hemlock Valley Resort and racers came from all over the province for the final DH race of the BC Cup series. The weather couldn't have been better and racers raved about the course. I was able to poll 100 racers to see what types of parts they are running and break it all down for you to enjoy. Below you'll find info on Frames, Tires, Brakes, Shifter and Rear Derailleur Combos, Bars, Seats, Clips vs. Flats, Helmets, Shoes, Pedals and Neck Braces being used by racers in British Columbia. (Those wondering why certain parts are not covered - I simply chose select parts and stuck to them - can't do them all.)
