Comment on Inspecting Carbon Fibre Bike frames by RichardE

Fri, 15 Nov 2013 18:44:13 +0000/?p=111#comment-9172Hi Campbell
yes this is a great idea. Having just had a very serious RTA I am in something of a dilema. My somewhat unique carbon frame has emerged seemingly unscathed. Though this would be paid for by someone else’s insurance I am loathe to scrap the frame if it is actually as undamged as it appears. If you have started this service or indeed are able to do something as a one off, let me know cost etc. Please email: richard@paragrap.demon.co.uk
Thanks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:58:10 +0000/?p=32#comment-9077[…] 19.5 was looming and with it so was the Route 52-Clark-Vista Marie Climb. This was the big one. A category 2 ascent that twisted and turned its way up out of Walker Valley to the Summit between Bear Hill and […]

See http://www.fitzs.com.au > Useful stuff > History of Fitz’s.
Hope you will keep this page going from strength to strength.

Thu, 01 Aug 2013 11:16:39 +0000/?p=32#comment-9016Based on the above , hardknott pass would definitely be a HC climb
See graph: http://www.brentacol.com/gradient_pics/hardknott_west.png
In summary, nearly 2km of climbing, with virtually all of it >10% gradient and steepest part being 29%!!

Fri, 19 Jul 2013 10:01:47 +0000/?p=32#comment-8990Are there any categorised climbs in Britain? Or do you have to ‘make them up’ by, for example, doing multiple passes of Box Hill?

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 10:04:42 +0000/?p=32#comment-8983Great post, thanks. As what you would call a non-rider I live on top of a 1km hill which is 6.5% overall, but there is a 100m stretch at over 10% and that is a bitch! The poor road surface does not help as you quickly lose any momentum you have when you hit a bump. So your guide to gradients is pretty accurate.
