Menace Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hey everybody! I was wondering when setting up for a corner, should I set my body position first, then start to downshift, or brake and downshift then set my body position. Im thinking i should set my bp then downshift and brake so I wont be as busy right before cornering. Any help and input would be appreciated. Thanks!

FieryRobot Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 How long after you brake before you initiate the turn? Is this a time you want to be shifting around on the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Definitely not. I used to brake and downshift then set up for my turn, but i realized i rushed my body positioning and sometimes i didnt set up properly because i was too rushed. Ive tried to shift my butt over first for a right turn but the downshifting and brsking felt a bit awkward as i am used to downshifting and braking with the butt on the seat. Itll just take time to get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
