The BW that runs up next to the Downhill track and the first bit of the North face. The one that got curned by recent logging has been stone chipped into a towpath smooth pram track.
They have a crushed on site chomping up rock and spitting out gravel...
More to come
To be fair that BW was utterly destroyed by the logging. Nothing wrong with the first bit of the North Face though. 😕
Next time I do the roller coaster I'll keep my eyes peeled for breaking bumps.
But they clearly aren't ruining my day
At Woburn braking just seems to tear the surface up....
They're suspension stutter bumps (started when brakes are applied). Dirt roads in Canada etc are covered in them - the bouncing up and down of suspension on 4*4 trucks. They wouldn't form if only hard tails were ridden (or if folk rode without locking their back wheel)
Still a daft suggestion from OP, but I sympathise
The wash board that covers the world dirt roads are not braking bumps. They are every where.....
Still not convinced that hard tails wouldn't form them
<riding god hat> IF YOU'RE RIDING ON THE BRAKING BUMPS YOU'VE CHOSEN A SHIT LINE </riding god hat>
Sorry for the shouting but it's the only way to get through to people who are hard of thinking. 😉
I suppose what I don't like is damage done by MTBs, I want us to pass through under the radar, without changing the environment.
The phrase "pissing in the wind" springs to mind. Seriously. I've been walking in the hills for over 40 years and am very aware of the enormous damage done by the passage of feet over that time. Why would a bike be any gentler?
