Went to the YT demo day in the FoD yesterday and got a good amount of time on the Carbon Tues.
As I kinda expected however it felt long and sluggish on 90% of the stuff there, the only places I found it really excelled were on rougher parts of corkscrew and Mr Rooty where the travel/geo comes into play.
On the rest of the tracks I felt the capra was faster as it was easier to turn and pedaled a lot better as expected.
I’ve been weighing up a dh bike for a while but I’m struggling to think of places in the south west where it would be better suited to than my spitfire. All I can come up with is gawton, triscombe and maybe the blacks at bpw.
Now I really liked the Tues on the few bits in the FoD that warranted it but I can’t think of many places where I could really use a dh bike without moving to the alps!
