omgnoseat Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I feel your pain, got up the rear wheel to drop of a table, brake slipped and landed straight on my back. Just recovered from an injury, very mad at myself for even trying to ride in this weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Sounds sore, I'm too scared to ride in this icy/snowy conditions because when I did my wheel just slides and I know that something worse would happen if i went to my normal riding spot. Good luck recovering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I still ride, i just take it a bit easier and run lower pressures. what makes it worse for me is that i have an echo tyre (bad tyre for those who dont know) and its nearly slick too.

Sam T Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Pinch gap. This. Takes a while to learn to technique, but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam T Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Is this where you take off from the edge? Yup. You compress all your weight to 'pinch' your tyre into the rim (rim out) and use the spring to gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
