Seeking redemption from the last time I rode Ben Narnain without seeing any views, I decided to give it a go again. I invited Piers out to join me on this occasion and he provided the entertainment😜

I’m having such a dilemma with brakes at the moment. I love everything about the Hope’s, except the noise, which can ruin a video. The Shimano’s can get outrageously loud when cold but then are super quiet after.

I don't know, I sort of like the pea soup views of the low lying clouds up there near ridgeline. Reminds me of good old Led Zeppelin, Misty Mountain Hop. Especially with the big chunk cobble you had to ride down. Thanks for another sample of moody-weather Scotland mountain trails.

@McTrailRider 3 жыл бұрын

I totally get the appeal of the atmosphere on rides like this, but I’m super keen to see the view as well. Really want to have a look over to Beinn Vane and Vorlich.

@@McTrailRider I get it. I didn't mean to suggest you don't deserve the view you wanted! I'd like to see it too. Such a great landscape surrounds you. Some day I'll visit Scotland, hopefully before I'm too old to tackle alpine rides.

It reflects well on you the fact that you pressed on regardless of the disappointing conditions. I’d have headed for the nearest pub....... ah, that is why is it? Well done, it is obvious that you know the area well enough to carry on safely.

@McTrailRider 3 жыл бұрын

If I can safely see it through, that’s what I’ll do, especially if it involves a Munro. These are my nearest mountains, so I know better than any other at this moment in time.

Its a good ride down that path. We did at least get some sunshine at the top. Were the big rocks that we had to clamber over still there?

The path is actually better now that it’s finished and settled in compared to when we rode it. The rock sections were the ones covered in snow I think.

@McTrailRider 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Giacomo, in this video I’m using two different mounting positions. The first one is my main position and that is on the chin bar of my full face helmet. The second is chest mounted using the Max lens mod from GoPro.

Bum deal on the view but a great ride none the less. After all the brake swapping testing, curious on any pad recommendations for Hope. I’ve destroyed pads very quickly in mine but had great feel!

@McTrailRider 3 жыл бұрын

Surprised to great about the accelerated pad wear, I’ve found the standard pads to last very long indeed. The green pro pads by Galfer are the ones I settled on as they have a noticeable improvement in bite and power....... but don’t last as long 😬

@McTrailRider 3 жыл бұрын

Piers does run his bars quite low, it was actually me that suggested to lower them as he is used too much shorter bikes and was struggling to weight the front end of the Privateer. Lowering the bars got his weight forward and he stopped washing the front out after that. He may raise them somewhere down the line though.

@GrahamStorr 3 жыл бұрын
