Hello! This is my first post here. I've owned my Hunqapillar for nearly a year and love it!
I ride fat Duremes on my Hunq and did a stretch of 6-8" snow on a steepish fire road I regularly ride. Walked it up, rode it down. Any tips for keeping the brakes from freezing up so they just glide over the rims? It was 15˚F and the scary part was the ineffectual brakes. Pumping and hard braking kept them mostly functional after a few ice glide times. The powdered snow just gets in there and reduces friction a lot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/ With abandon, Patrick On Sunday, February 24, 2013 6:56:55 PM UTC-7, Mike Schiller wrote: > > Yes, for that ride the knobbies will be fine.I need to get something like > the Dureme or Little Ben for touring. > > ~mike > > On Sunday, February 24, 2013 5:38:59 PM UTC-8, dougP wrote: >> >> Mke: >> >> That came out great looking.
