  1. The recent thread on idling cokers made me think about learning the idle
    the 29er. So over the last week I have managed to do about 5 idles on
    the Big Apple with 125mm cranks but I managed 10 on the Kenda Klaw with
    140mm cranks (both on rough tarmac). I'm really pleased with this cos
    it took me months to learn to idle on the 20" and I can still only do
    about 33 with my right foot and about half that with my left.
    🙂

  2. Cathy-

    The big wheels can be idled as soon as you've got the motion down on
    the smaller ones. Congratulations on your progress. I still tend to try
    to take my weight off of the seat on my Coker and then I idle in arcs.
    I put my weight back on the seat and then straighten right out. Keep up
    the good work and remember the fundamentals.

  3. Thanks.

    So far I have/need more control when I'm idling the big wheel and I
    have to be more precise. The movements are (obviously) slower.
