Video: Drone Chases Kilian Bron as He Sends It Down a Spectacular Slab at Sunset

Man, another great drone video to watch. I really love the perspective shown here. It really shows off the scale of the terrain.

Field Test: 2022 YT Capra - The Speedy All-Rounder

It could also be that since its a “middle of the road” bike, its easy to adapt to. You dont have to adjust to the long reach, a long wheelbase and/or a super slack headtube. You just get on and go.

Day 1 Randoms - Eurobike 2021

@CustardCountry: a whole 9mm! Lol. I think the change does slightly alter pedaling dynamics so it could be that the bb doesnt drop as much while seated pedaling. Id say that it was enough that i immediately reduced my pedal strikes without changing anything else. That said, I do think pedal strikes are mostly solved with technique. I dont get as many pedal strikes these days. Pedal strikes were just one part of it though. It pedaled better and turned sharper. I dont mind having the option. Theres a couple big rides near me that i want to tackle. Lots of climbing lots of descending over 60-70 miles. If i ever tackle that on yhe capra, you can bet im going to maximize my pedaling efficiency. Cheaper to adjust geo than buy a new bike.

Day 1 Randoms - Eurobike 2021

I have a flip chip on my 2018 capra 29. Ive actually gone back and forth between the two settings a few times. Going for about a year in each mode. The reason i switched was because i was having so many pedal strikes on the climbs in low mode. While high mode reduced the pedal strikes, it also pedaled better and had sharper steering. I was doing a lot more varied riding that year and the high mode was great for that. Then the next year i started riding chunkier and steeper stuff and went back to low mode. A few more pedal strikes but not terrible. Descending was a lot better though. Ive kept it that way for this year but i also increased travel front and rear to 170. Slack hta and no pedal strikes. It certainly is more work on the climbs though.

Is the gobble gobble from the rotor or pads?
