Some random stuff this time around; dog-poo, pedals, step-ups, and new bikes, I got it all covered.
Henning is stepping up his game with this brand new bike. Its a Vitus Escarpe, a brand owned by Chain Reaction Cycles. This bike ticks all the right boxes regarding a trail bike, and I must say, its a nice ride. The Revelation fork up front is smoooth.

Henning is smiling a tad more than usual, and who can blame him.

Fun on the step-up.

Pedal size comparison. The Point One Racing Pedal (to the left) is no small pedal by any means. So I think this pic really shows how big the Twenty6 Predator pedal actually is. Yet more lightweight.

I joined Christian on a short DH session and he brought his DH-dog Noma with him. This dog is fast and runs the same entire line as we do. As I said, this dog is fast, so much so that she decided to emphasize my slowness by taking the time to take a dump down this DH line. I got the message.

why the change to the twenty 6? Did the point ones had any problems?
ReplyDeleteDon´t you think that the price tag for the twenty 6 especially the one´s whit titanium axles is just plain stupid?
Did you had other options in mind?
I know that sometimes the heart speaks louder.
PS:nothing against the twenty6 because I had bought some prerunners pedals myself
The Point One Racing pedals where beginning to have a bit of play, granted, it was very little, but when I saw a discount on the Predator Pedal I saw it as my chance to get a pair.
ReplyDeleteI agree, that the pricetag is very high on the Predator Pedals, my score in the final review WILL reflect that.
My other options where; Canfield Brothers Crampon Ultimates, and the new Syntace NumberNine Titan.
LOOOOOVEEEE your blog, keep it coming!
