Cam Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 After checking out the excellent TRA pics, we were wondering. Does anyone know (roughly) what Benito and/or Carles weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Benito is f**king stacked so i'd imagine a fair bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I bet you'll find the power to weight ratio of most riders is pretty similar: The bigger guys are proportionatly more powerful (?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I bet you'll find the power to weight ratio of most riders is pretty similar: The bigger guys are proportionatly more powerful (?)but they're also heavierso more effort is needed to move them.is that what you were getting at?

NVWOCI WVS Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 but they're also heavierso more effort is needed to move them.is that what you were getting at?yeah, the more they weigh the more power theyre going to have behind them, so I reckon it will pretty much be balanced out. hard to say though really, I reckon theres an optimum body type for trials riders: 100% ectomorph with high percentage fast twitch muscle... and I reckon around the 11stone mark, 6ft tall ish... This size would suit the geometry of most modern frames too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This size would suit the geometry of most modern frames too.Fast twitch muscles would be good for powermoves, but crap over the course of a ride / comp etc.But yea i guess there is an optimum, but look at tennis "Rafel" isit? number 2 in the world but hes hugly built! traditionally "too big" for tennis but still hes a beast! Just make the most of what you got is what i say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 What is the point of this topic? Even if we do work out the prime build, and height of a trials rider, what good is it to us? We can't change how tall we are and the more you ride, the more you develop the muscles needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eMAyaRKay Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I can see why muscles etc are going to help with riding, but surely technique is still the biggest factor in riding. I mean you could put any athlete with amazing muscle structure etc on a bike, but it wouldn't make them instantly amazing would it. technique first, then build on strength and power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 6ft, <10st.Over easter and towards summer I'm gonna work on my general fitness with XC/Road riding, then summer I'm gonna try and ride as often as I can to start getting my general bulk up. I wanna get to a decent weight and get a bit bigger built, cos im fed up of being a skinny shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
