Re: Getting back on the big wheel again- last minute RTL preparation!

Want to make a 36er seem light and nimble? Simple. Ride a geared 36er
for a few hours. When you jump back on the ungeared one you'll feel
like you're on a high-speed 20". Then put shorter cranks on it and
you'll fly. That's why I've been keeping up riding the Shlumpf 36er I
have on loan from Daytripper63, even though I decided not to try to
bring it to NS along with my ungeared one. Plus I like the speeds I
could maintain on the flats... 🙂

If you don't have a geared 36 available, ride your ungeared one on
rough trails. It'll feel even more sluggish there, but when you get
back on pavement you'll feel the improvement. That's why I've been
taking my Coker V2 up to an all-rolling trail in Auburn once a week and
killing myself riding up, down, up, down. Last time is tomorrow!
