just attach some wings & go over the roundabouts instead:OP
I'm happy as long as I'm not going over the handlebars tbh...
(still need to get a helmet!)
supa, are avid BB7 brakes any good ? they're what everyone told me to get ? (need to be cable operated)
got those and 203mm disks going on front and back as soon as the new motor turns up :-)
spent like £250 on them so they better be good..... was going to stock with the old ones but there were a few times I had to use my feet to stop...
Mate you're doing 50mph... I'd be switching out toy brakes and looking at moped hydraulic setups. I'd also be bloody careful as above 15mph you're a normal road vehicle so need tax, insurance and likely a motorbike licence and I don't know of many private roads with roundabouts on.
Heat build up in overloaded (70lbs + your weight) bicycle tyres at a constant 50mph must be huge too, likelihood for a blow out is high.
Argos do helmets for £30 that are decent enough but I'd be wearing some normal biker gear too as road rash sucks, I've come off at 25mph on a push bike in a long sleeved rugby shirt and crag hopper combats and almost ended up needing skin grafts and ground the bone in my (elbow) forearm on the concrete.
Be careful!
