Correct technique in fast sweepers?

[Hans]

Thats fine unless you're riding a really nicely balanced bike that doesn't require any steering input mid corner. I could pretty much let go of the bars on my old Speed Four mid corner and it'd just keep doing what it was doing.

Funny that. I can do the same on new-ish tyres and a good surface.

Yep, thats what i'm talking about.
Yer if you're going quite a bit slower straight-line it over the bump then turn. Keeps everything pretty tidy.

Bah, I need another track bike. (err and to get this cast off).

I dunno, ~10km/h and a 200cc bike and you break your wrist ............. maybe you shouldn't have sold the scooter

My GSX14500 would probably be heavier in the front than most road bikes but even so, in tight corners and in high speed sweepers I get my weight up close to the tank, lean my upper body and drop my inside shoulder well into the turn. You must also have a relaxed grip on the bars so the bike can move as it needs to.

Try this and you may find it all comes together, assuming you do have your suspension sorted which it sounds like you have.

I sit way back with my arms stretched to the max and just ride the wallow that usually comes mid every corner, when the frame touches down (must make that neadit slider) i know i've reached maximum lean angle and when i pull up for a smoke or piss and see the sides of my new metzlers are worn off, i know i have reached max compression !
But get a speeding ticket on the Rimatakas ? Yeah right !

How about the Haywards then? Sounds more realistic. Passed a stationary bike cop with his laser gun out on last Saturday. Was really happy to be stuck behind a car for once.
