I'm headed to winter park in 2 weeks to have some fun...I don't really know what I'm in for being from KANSAS....
I have a 2008 Stumpjumper FSR comp with upgraded brakes/rotors..Fox Float 120 RL fork
Questions:
1) Can this bike handle downhill? I'm not planning on doing the easiest trails, nor the hardest trails...trying for something moderate. (honestly I don't know much, but my friend has gone before)
2) If the bike can handle it, is it worth hauling it all that way? (saris rack - bolts/locks in hitch - cable locks the bike) It's about $90 to rent a Kona DH bike and full armor/helmet...I don't have armor so if I brought my bike it would be about $40 or so. The up side of bringing my bike is that I'm used to it...the downside is if I fly off a jump in to a tree, I'll damage my own bike lol. I'd really like to use my bike but if it's a risk of not having as much fun then I'd rather use the DH bike....
Thanks in advance!
