A!! Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I went out to ride some natural the other day, and started to practice things with small or uphill run ups and found them pretty hard. I was riding a clay ledge (about a foot high) on the top of a bank with about 1.5-2 metre run up on an uphill slope, everytime time i tried to clear it i found i could never seem to get the speed so i hopped and came up short of it. So i was wondering after reading a few freewheel topics: as i run an acs freewheel would it help using a tensile or try-all one as it has more engagement points, would this make it better for tight sections where it's needed to build up speed quickly? Or is it a matter of changing the current gearing to make it better for acceleration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 *Cue freewheel discussion about whether the play in freewheels with low numbers of engagements gives a more explosive output at the wheel*My conclusion: Negligable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 id make sure that your foot is on engagement point rather than jabbing nothing then engaging.really chuck your weight forwards that helps loads if you really give it some pasty.try starting bad foot forward too.craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
