Chris Boardman seems to think its important!

Are you going to be competing in an Olympic Cross Country race ?

only if it’s rocky, you need them superhard for rocks so you don’t go over the bars 😉

Eh? Is this some commentary gold I’m missing out on?

Over in Oz we have Phil Lig, wondering who is drafting out there

and don’t forget 5 Bar (70psi) in your tyres

Brakes, I was wondering about that although apparently they’re now using all of the 100mm of travel available on the leap of faith .

I thought Boardman sounded pretty knowledgable. Bound to say some crap stuff during an hour and a half race.
I did laugh when they talked about tyre pressures. How fascinating!

Yes and put 3.5 – 5 bar in your tyres. (ooops too slow – I was pumping up my tyres more)

He said nothink. He’s a muppet.

Yeah because the millions watching know all that.

I remember Rockshox at Sandwell were prepping peoples forks, I recall they came back rigid 😯

He said nothink.

He’s a muppet.

. 😯

Blimey, Olympic Gold yellow jersey wearing superstar winning ex-pro = muppet.

Anyway, far more important. Was the winner on a 29er?

There are muppets here also. He said nothink, anythink and somethink many times, weren’t you listening?

XX1 winner…………

I’ve pumped my tyres up to 4 bar for pretty much the last twenty years. It’s what I prefer, other might not but I wouldn’t mock them for making a different choice.

Hard tyre pressure would have been fine on that course and the weather conditions …..IMHO
