SkiLLz Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 It's so boring! Can't ride at all I think it's about time the Council made a local indoor trials arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I concur. We must blame someone for the terrible disgusting rain.You could of course, just ride anyway? It is only water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Ride the rain! Never my mate died thanks to a wet rim and my brake slips like hell when wet.I don't want to sound like a dick, and I genuinely don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but you can't live your life in fear or hold back from doing what you want to do because your friend died in a freak accident. People get killed in freak accidents doing mundane, every day stuff (crossing the road, falling down stairs, etc.), but that wouldn't stop you doing those activities, would it? I'm not saying that you should forget about your friend or anything like that, but don't be scared of doing stuff because he had something tragic and unfortunate happen to him.

Never my mate died thanks to a wet rim and my brake slips like hell when wet.I'm NOT trying to sound harsh but in your previous posts you have said you 1 know someone who died tapping a wall 2 you know someone who died doing an abubicasomething is starting to not ad up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 You just have to be a bit more careful in the rain due to lack of grip from tyres, but apart from that, just ride anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Manning Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 If you ride street, the rain shouldn't really effect your braking. No the water isn't as clean as tap water, but it's fairly clean, and in my experience my brakes, have worked just aswell when riding in the rain compared to riding in the dry.The rain doesn't bother me anymore, I just ride. Unfortunately, alot people choose not to ride, so I tend ride alone. The way I see it, if you can pull a line in the wet, then, you'll have no problem doing it in the dry. Doesn't matter if ride comps or not. Riding in the rain will improve your riding, providing you still push yourself like you would normally.

Mark W Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 He is right, in the sense that if you've got less grip from your tyres and less bite and hold from your brakes, you have to ride better to overcome those problems. Doing a line when it's bone dry compared to if it's pissing is down should make that pretty obvious. With natural, even more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out and ride in the rain, develop your skills, SkiLLz.It's kinda hard to do trials with no brakes dont you think? i use tar on rear rim so it slips like hell and my front disk fails at the sight of water.

Mark W Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I never said he died doing a wall tap it was an abubaca on a curb.If it was something as small as a curb, then what I said before definitely stands: I don't want to sound like a dick, and I genuinely don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but you can't live your life in fear or hold back from doing what you want to do because your friend died in a freak accident. People get killed in freak accidents doing mundane, every day stuff (crossing the road, falling down stairs, etc.), but that wouldn't stop you doing those activities, would it?

It's £10 max for a grinder, takes 2 minutes to do (Don't even need to take your wheel off...), and you've got your braking sorted, at least for the back.

SkiLLz Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It's not that the rain bothers me if my brakes worked just as good in rain then i would ride it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Grind your rim then, and your back brake will work better in the dry anyway, but it'll also be good in the wet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
