Some mates are off to Cwm Carn and Afan in April. ( I have opted out due to an injury)
They plan to hit the downhill runs and then Skyline etc at Afan. However, I think they are rather ill equipped for Cwn Carn
1) None of them have ridden downhill runs as in the likes of Cwn Carn before
2) Bikes being taken range from HT’s eg Rockhoppers, a couple of 29’ers, one of them is on a 15 yr old Rocky Mtn Slayer with V brakes and insists he will be fine. Their tyres are all single ply etc …you get the drift.
Whilst I think their set up might be fine for Afan I have serious doubts abt Cwn Carn.
Am I wrong in my assessment that this is going to go all pear shaped or do I keep trying to get them to think again about their set up?
(The only downhills I’ve done is Whistler so not familiar with the UK centres yet)
