  1. A friend of mine lent me his Coker for a few months, and I started
    riding it last weekend. I love it. I actually regret that I didn't
    buy a Coker rather than my KH24. It's fast, on the road and in the
    trails.

    Anyone out there with any advice for me would be much appreciated.

    Love the Coker!!!

    Silly advise, you can easily ride faster than you can run, falling
    doesn't hurt that much, I've had more injuries from trials than
    crashing at high speeds. STOP SAYING IT.

    shut your freakin hole.

    Ride it and get comfortable on it.

    I pretty much agree with you. Although, I had 127mm cranks on it at
    one time, and your feet would hardly be moving. So, when speeding
    along, if I fell off, my feet were going nowhere near running speed.
    But now, I have 175mm cranks on it, and it's great for the trails.
    Faster is definately more fun.

    Jagur, are you even a coker rider? Have you ever fallen at speeds of
    30km/h or do you obey by the golden "-Don't go faster than you can
    run.-" rule.
    *It was thought of by ONE MAN*, people are scared to go above their
    running speed, and if they do they go "-Please don't let me fall,
    please don't let me fall, I won't be able to run it out!!!-" with as a
    result, they WILL fall, because they're not giving it a good chance.

    Dustin

    Actually, this influenced my speed on my coker for the first couple of
    months. Then I thought that the only time I have had a fall from my
    29er, it came completely out of the blue and - minute I was riding and
    the next minute flying through the air thinking, I'm not going to like
    this - splat! So I decided that if I fell off whilst I was riding
    faster than I could run, then I would hurt myself. But it probably
    wouldn't be the end of the world.

    I've gone 39.3km/h downhill, and it was perfectly safe, I've crashed at
    33.2km/h on a downhill, and all I got was some scratches on my knee and
    elbow, if I was wearing protection, I doubt I'd even have a bruise.

    falling while going downhill is not as brutal as a fall to flat
    concrete. it would be hard -not- to roll out of that one.
