craigjames Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 yeah people ride in the rain. i confess up until few days a go i hadnt ever ridden in the rain/wet. but it was my first ride since the end of september so i had to give it a go. once your brakes are set up well its all good fun, your just a little bit more wary of everything, you have to be more precise with your movements and where you put the bike and how you move on it. once you get used to it, its great fun and will make you a better rider.craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Eddy- Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 If you live in the Uk you dont have much choice, you rarely see the sun!But rain riding is fine just a bit more slippy and you have to be aware of how it will affect your bike/control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxi Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 areet yes mostly everyone will do it all it makes it is more sliperier and more harder so then it is beter but the only bad thing is your rear brake can slip alot unless you have a really good grind and pads !!!!cheersmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
