Shimano Saint Prototype - Pietermaritzburg World Cup

Well what i did 5 years ago... Bought a 9 speed XTR 12-34 casette. Cut off the two large sprocets. Then got a XTR shifter that can shift 2 gears down and 4 up in one push or pull.... and a Saint rear derailleur. Results: 7 gears 12-27 gearing. Shifting from 27 to 12 in just 3 clics On some of the racetracks up here that are between 60 sec to 3 minutes long i have seen improwements in my runs from 0,5sec to a whole second.

Santa Cruz Bicycles - Test Lab

None of this suprises me. My carbon GT Fury has proofen all of this a long time ago! On top of that the feeling you get riding carbon is suprisingly better. And you really first notice the difference next time you back on a alu frame, it feels dead, boring, heavy and less grippy... Cheers to all you new belevers!

The last years there have been abbout 50-60 riders racing the Icelandic dh cup series... And 430 pepole raced the Bluelagoon challenge, easy 60km xc race. And there is a bikepark just outside of Reykjavík at the Skálafell ski area. They are open 2 - 3 times a wee during the summer and have a good uplift service.... So things are picking up up here :) Cheers.
