Hi all,

Been riding up in the peaks a lot now and there’s a short fast rocky as hell section called zig, as I have started to go after down it with knowing what’s ahead I’m finding the vibrations through my bike mean it’s almost impossible to see ahead without slowing. Is this a technique thing, relaxing more, or a bike set up problem?

Are you gritting your teeth?

Shake your head up and down before you hit the section, this will neutralize the vibration and you’ll have clear vision.

You could mount a go pro to your chest on a stabilisation gimbal, then live stream it to your phone in one of those VR helmets?

More cushions?

you could try carbon bars, you get a lot vibration than ali ones.

Is this a technique thing, relaxing more, or a bike set up problem?

Tell us more about your bike setup and your riding technique. Otherwise we’re all just guessing.

you say you know whats ahead so why not just shut your eyes?

On a serious note, whatever you bike set-up, you need to relax on the bike and let it move around under you.
