Default Me and CB's new DH weapon
When Fontana finally opens a DH tandem class, CB and I are all over it. She's going to have a blast, no brakes, no steering, and an impaired view of the trail ahead should be sufficiently terror-inducing.



I've already picked out our rig. Dual front discs, Shimano Airlines, and independent captain and stoker pedal/bb control.

I'll make you a deal. For the Fontana races, I'll pedal on the upper part of the course, but once we get to the Wall, you do all the pedaling while I relax and enjoy a smoothie.

Uhhh, don't look in the Marketplace forum, honey. Those just look like your bikes.

I'm pretty sure I could get the front end around. You're on your own after that.

I guess it wouldn't help for the me to get my weight back on the manuals, other than to give the cb a face full of ass. Nose wheelies would be totally freaky for the cb, and if we OTB'd she'd get launched like a catapult.

Hmmm. I better re-think this plan. I'm not ready to face her wrath for causing a wreck.

You mean you'll ride as usual if you were on your own, coasting along the wall?
