Depending on the tour. Last year's average was 27km/1100m high. alt. diff per tour.
On my videos are mostly ''all day long tour'' .. cca 5-10h of biking with rests and pause. (cca 35km/2000m high alt.diff)

Hello spchpytzyo, first i want to congratulates your photos and videos, its a show of technical in photos and ride bike, real nice. I looked to the bikes what you and your brothers used, and the most are Scott, it is the favorite brand for you or for the type of ride is the most apropriate? anothers brands dont went so good in this type of conditions? Nice job Man!!!!!

ok, i saw in those videos in the same website, a lot of scott bikes, anda though that is normal there. But you are right, in your group only the girl use the scott, sorry about that. And i agree with you when you said that the brand is not important, that is the reason of my question, but i made a mistake. And the brands and types of tires, in this case i have the opinion that brands is important, what is the most usde in this conditions? sonw and rock declivers?
thanks again for the contact in our brazilian forum, is very rare a international presense.

Crazy Stuff.

Esses vídeos e fotos são maravilhosos.Estou morrendo de inveja ( no bom sentido)

Do you use the same tires with or without snow?

Hamud escreveu: Do you use the same tires with or without snow?

Yes, the same tires. But it's better if the mixture of rubber is 'harder' (60a/70a). On the snow are also very good tires for mud. Soft mixture have very poorly 'performing' in the cold (under 0°C).

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SWEET !!!!

Amazing!

two years ago I've been to Slovenia...wasn't EU yet so I have your stamp in my passport!!!! was going from Austria to Italy...I saw those mountains when I was on the border by car and wonder "what great places to ride you have in Europe, you luck bastards!!!" now I come here and see these great pictures and amazing landscapes...I'm definitely going back there and try to ride a bike in those trails....maybe I can get a new bike there I remember everything was so very cheap there!!! a coke can was about 25 euro cents is it still so cheap??? hopefully bike are cheaper there too hahahha


best regards and keep the pictures comming!
p.s. Great videos by the way! Very well made!

Schpytzyo, wich tire are you using in snow? And wich one are you using to climb the mountains? I think the rear tire must have very good traction to climb some parts. I love to climb but my tires looses traction when climbing in wet conditions (specialy in wet grass and land) or with small rocks. Wich tire do you recommend?

Now about brakes: In the snow the brakes became very wet, so what kind of brake pads do you use? Sinterized, metallic?

When you are climbing the mountains or going down, do you use cycling shoes with cleats or these are not safe when passing near a cliff? Everybody uses cleats when riding All Mountain style?

Very nice pictures and video. Beautifull landscapes!!

 

xandegui77 escreveu: wich tire are you using in snow?

Nothing special. Only the rubber compound must be 60/70a.
Soft mix (40/50a) in the cold have very poorly performing/grip.
But .. Tires with studs on the knobs is the only solution for frozen/icy surface. (We dont use this one ..)

xandegui77 escreveu: And wich one are you using to climb the mountains? Wich tire do you recommend?

Hmm.. our terrains are a little different than in Brazil .. (I think so..)
But.. I am verry satisfact in all condition terrain (wet and muddy also) with Scwalbe BigBetty UST 2.4 (pressure 1.3bar - my weight 70kg + cca 9kg backpack)

Some my friend recommend for xc this tire: --> http://www.maxxis.com/Bicycle/Mountain/Medusa.aspx
This one are for FR/DH .. --> http://www.maxxis.com/Bicycle/Downhill/WetScream.aspx

xandegui77 escreveu: ..about brakes: In the snow the brakes became very wet, so what kind of brake pads do you use? Sinterized, metallic?

I use only metallic brake pads (Avid Juicy7 brakes). In wet is not a best choice ... but ... therefore they have a 'long life' .. I do with one pair about 70-80.000 meters of altitude difference of downhill

xandegui77 escreveu: do you use cycling shoes with cleats or these are not safe when passing near a cliff? Everybody uses cleats when riding All Mountain style?

No, I and all my friends use only flat pedals in combination with 5.10 shoes.

Raaaaaapaz! Que trilhão!
Deve ser muito fera pedalar pela Europa!
