Haha, I can't believe that got in here. Did it end up fastest time of the day then? Someone got 57s on Thursday bit apparently he's been practicing specifically for it and had 17 goes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Yeah Haha, I can't believe that got in here. Did it end up fastest time of the day then? Someone got 57s on Thursday bit apparently he's been practicing specifically for it and had 17 goes Yeah Adam, you topped fastest overall time on Friday by a clear 26 secs. This youtube clip gives you an idea how tricky it is to nail a really fast time Edited February 17, 2014 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hehe, I wondered if anyone would put any videos up. Couple of 'mistakes' there, using both hands to let the tube down at the start is slow, you need one hand on the tube and undo the QR with the other, also let too much air out meaning it's hard to get the tube back in, using tyre levers was slow as well, and he didn't put enough air back in - you needed at least 12 strokes to make the full 20psi. It's a science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Average times was around 2mins 50secs-3mins, so to get under 2mins was pretty credible. That 700c tyre was an absolute pain to remove quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Oh right, the show was pretty quiet on Friday morning so I didn't see too many people having a go. Yeah, the other bike's tyre was easier to remove, but the QR didn't clear the forks so you couldn't spin it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Missed out, gutted! 5th fastest overall though, not too bad. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=617200041668968&set=a.118903801498597.25730.113557845366526&type=1&theater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I arrived there around shortly after 3pm, and it was pretty quiet till 4pm when the crowd numbers started building up. Couldn't stay longer as I had to head back to work, so I just made enough time to do one tour of all three shows (Triathlon & Outdoor adventure show) then head out. Didn't have to chat to the guys on the Animal stand to get an update on Martyn Ashton. £8499 Giant road bike wtf Edited February 17, 2014 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
