What wheelset are you using? is it a steel bearing?

I constantly surprise myself when going downhill.. I cruise like speed demon.. even sayur lotsa ppl..

So putting almost 80% learn in school and forgetting it and remembering less than 20% of physics learn.. or u thought u still have that 20% understanding do u? huhuuhhuhu...

So I wanted to find out the details behind this but always slip my mind or I was plain lazy lah...

Everytime as I go down hill.. the speed got rack up faster.. pass thru lotsa ppl without pedalling and gain longer distance as it slightly to ascend or on the plain.

I always thought maybe this fler that I bought the bike from did something to hub or the ball bearing.. this is a cheapo Shimano stuff but work like a baby dude.. I became proud of it..ahaha..

Then during the Broga race, as I was sharing my yoko2 with a rider who suffer cramp at the top of the hill.. we chat for a while.. then after that when we are ready we cruise down the hill...

All the way.. and when he catch up with me.. he was like asking me what wheelset are u using.. what brand and it is steelbearing i am using.. I said cheapo shimano wh500 ania mah..

He said impossible.. as we converse in Hokkien.. He said he saw me flying down damn fast and as he was slowing down.. i still go faster.. he had to pedal damn bloody hard to catch up with me..

I told him lah its my heavy weight that make me go faster.. so he gimme that curious look whether to believe me or not.. well.. marketing is so sinful.. it could even lead u from the basic truth of science.. hmm.. i do not want to strike some Galileo or newtonian conversation as I also confuse too..

So yesterday I keep reminding myself to get down to business... at least I find something that explain it in quite comprehensive satisfying way..

Well, I should savvy this moment before I lose all the weight to not able to enjoy such unequal advantage downhill again.. So speaking of that.. now as I remember I was chasing Shahrin downhill at Genting Sempah.. I now know why he applied the ride and brake technique to fundamentally mess with my torque.. He is indeed cunningly deceptive devilish to apply his victory.

Well.. learning as my as I can to apply for my Epic ride.

Next digging in more on the power-to-weight ratio...
