Takes what from Hart, it's not Harts to loose. That being said looking for Hart to put in a good run, but still hoping that Gwin continues his dominance.

Rich-Downhill28 (Jun 8, 2012 at 12:44)

Best WC track I say, such a variety, big rock gardens, wooded section like Val Di Sol, motorway section like Pietermaritzburg and just generally full of death! Can't wait!

same but i dont think the coverage is that great, they just show every rider doing the same odd corner i would love to see a few full runs

Rich-Downhill28 (Jun 8, 2012 at 13:28)

yeh they did that at Pietermaritzburg, they missed out those two huge table tops just before the long pedal section, apparently CG did some massive Nac-Whip on one, can't find a video anywhere!

are you stupid? this track is silly gnarly, and unlike the rest, the cameras can get decent footage of a lot of it because it's so open.

Can't get full runs because its LIVE with 3 min intervals between top riders and even less for the start of the field. There's usually 3 or 4 riders on track at any given point, maybe more on a track this length until you break into the top few. Unless it was split-screen you couldn't have live full runs. PMB was poor coverage due to security issues but I thought VDS was AWESOME. Camera cranes, High def streaming and smoother coverage than ever before. I've no doubt the stops are getting pulled out for the official best venue in the series either. If the M82 section isn't covered I will eat my hat.

Jacko6793 (Jun 10, 2012 at 4:20)

ye i understand it is hard but a split screen would be great or prehaps two streams (one normal coverage and one of a few halmet cams?) and ye so excited

Rich-Downhill28 (Jun 10, 2012 at 4:50)

@Jacko6793 - I agree with you, helmet cams, a bit like in F1 with the cockpit view would look sick BUT UCI don't allow riders to wear helmet cams on their timed race run, and you can't fit a massive radio transmitter on a riders head, but a good idea for the future!

If you haven't seen or ridden this new or old track.... ohh hell, after riding it just 4/5 times in one day kiss your forearms goodbye, and any regards for your own life, also... don't do what my mate did and ride it on a hardtail, you will die more than once... thats it really, awesome track though

Feedback Pro Elite stands... Are they worth the money?

I guess if pro-teams use them they should be pretty good?

Drea (Jun 8, 2012 at 13:13)

They're stable but have a fiddly clamp. Worth the money? I don't think so. Buy the one from your local thansen.

1 0

Nygaard (Jun 8, 2012 at 15:07)

Already got one of those and I'm not impressed. The build quality is quite good if you take the price into consideration, but the clamp.. Meh. The spring loaded locking mechanism actually broke last weekend and I haven't even used the rotation feature that many times.

Drea (Jun 9, 2012 at 5:31)

Hard to argue against a broken unit . I've tried them all though. Topeak, Parktool, Minoura, Feedback ect. and for the price I really can't fault it. Mine (X-Tool labeled) has treated me well for the past three years.

Nygaard (Jun 9, 2012 at 15:06)

Yea, and it happened at the worst possible time too. My fork needed service badly, and Hahnenklee camping site doesn't offer a lot of alternatives to a defective bike stand!

Fixing the locking mechanism on my current stand (it should be fairly easy to even improve on the original design) is probably my best bet though, if the name brand stands aren't any better.

Thanks for the advice!

Rich-Downhill28 (Jun 8, 2012 at 16:30)

^^That'd be sick if Peaty or Gee one, but I highly doubt it. Hart's got something going on, I'm just hoping he pulls another Champery out of the hat and destroys this one, just for a change. It's annoying seeing Gwin win, he doesn't seem like a nice chap, he's just one of those people who you look at and think 'I wouldn't like to talk to him', I don't know why! haha!

BeerGuzlinFool (Jun 8, 2012 at 17:22)

I dont think Hart has the lungs or the legs for this course. I see Gwin, Gee, Minnaar and Smith as the top 4.

GRIEVE99 (Jun 8, 2012 at 17:39)

If Hart hasn't got the lungs or legs for this course explain last year where he could've won if he didn't slip up in the rock gardens

alazamanza (Jun 8, 2012 at 18:04)

erm.. why do you think theyve changed the motorway??? there was too much pedaling and the tech rider such as danny couldn't pull enough on the rocks to stop the likes of minnaar on the pedals... we can all say but if hart didnt get wobbly he would have won but chances are if gwin didnt crash he would of won.... you can say what if forever......

i would like to see peaty get on the podium again though

BeerGuzlinFool (Jun 8, 2012 at 19:10)

That was last year. Hart just won't be able to keep up with the uber fit riders on this track. I thought he would have done better than he did last week on such a technical track.

GRIEVE99 (Jun 9, 2012 at 0:18)

alazamanza, Danny could've done some fitness work over the off season to get better at pedaling. Because unless you watched him everyday of the off season you don't know how he trained he could've been riding XC and road.

If he beat those two obvisously he isn't that much smaller then Minaar who isn't the biggest of riders on the circuit

Neko Mulally is emericuun and although he is injured at the moment, he grabbed a couple of podiums recently... One at Sea Otter and one at the Port Angles Pro GRT race with a stacked field. Don't forget he had the fastest time of the day for national champs too in 2011. I can't wait to see what he has in the bag for MSA, the track he got a Silver Medal on at worlds just 0.06 behind Brosnan... So yeah, "Emericuuh" does have a team.
