Always riding
Is anyone still riding road bikes in the San Jose area? I'm starting to train for a century ride and looking for others who want to suffer up HWY 9?
Since I ride the brakes a lot downhill I'm thinking of changing the organic pads to sintered. I've got TRP Spyre disc brakes. Thoughts?
(edited).....The other 'pro tip' for descending is to be in the drops. You'll have lower center of gravity with more weight on the front wheel. Your hands will be at a lower point on the brake levers for better modulation and more leverage (power) and with your hands at the end of the bars you'll feel less vibration which can mess with your head at high speed.
Thoughts?
I know. I always want to push through to tunitas but I'm usually with people of mixed fitness when I do OLH
