sorry i derailed your thread. ontopic: i mountain bike and i would never do that. Fastest i've been on my bike is about 60km/h going down a hill on the road. kinda cool keeping up with cars, but i don't think i want to go much faster than that. infact, i don't think my bike will go much faster than that.

but why use a lighter bike if its downhill?

[gtboys34]

At that speed, if heavier, it would begin digging into the soil i'd assume. Lighter bike kinda float on top of the soil.

at that speed, I cant imagine the relatively marginal weight difference would effect that, tho.
