And when I say steep, I mean real steep. What would you do to your bike to prepare for that?
Raise the front end makes sense. Is slacker better on steeps? I'd assume so, so I can do both at once just by dropping my forks as far as they'll go.
Maybe rotate brake levers up a bit as well to get me more over the back of the bike.
What about tyre pressures? Softer than normal I guess - rolling resistance isn't exactly a concern when you're dragging the brakes the whole way down!
