You can gloat about your Giant, but just you wait until the last 3k, when all the guys riding British Steel come blazing past you :twisted:
You will see those brave souls, thundering down that fast, rock strewn decent and ask yourself why you are going so slowly in comparison.
And the answer will be, because you have brakes that actually work, while the rest of us are riding 40lbs bikes and trying to stop them with canti brakes; a brake so ineffectual in its ability to do its job, the a well placed boot on the tyre will do a better and more reliable job.
Look in awe as the heavyweights come thundering past, just don't look at the riders faces, because what you will see will be raw fear :shock:

I have sincere admiration for your eloquence. As a complete novice I shall be making good use of my disc type inhibitors. Went round the verderers a couple of weeks ago with theredchilli and was thinking of changing my name from THM to thebrowntrouser.
I think you are probably the most sensible rider in the group, picking a modern lightweight bike with good brakes.
I have been round the Verderers on a couple of different bikes and enjoyed every minute, but the thought of those descents with canti brakes.........
All I can say is; we must be mad!
