a good thing to remember is to keep ur ass vertically above the crank no matter what situation. so when climbing uphill, move to the nose of the saddle. when going in a slight slope DH, move the butt towards the back of the saddle. when steep DH, move ass behind the saddle, above rear tire.

if u follow this basic guideline, ur weight distribution should be balanced enough. if slight slope DH u move ass above rear tire later the front becomes too light, hard to steer and front tire not much traction. likewise if climbing and ur weight position is too far back, can wheelie, or front tire wanders left and right.

if u want extra training i can help. just come to KDCF i teach u brows.gif

Wow... this is a nice guide... just make sure when u downhilling, u don't look down to make sure u are vertically to ur crank. He! He! He! laugh.gif

timothy, there is not answer how front is front, how back is back. so you have to try it out by your own in order to find the right position.

i dont think that lowering the seat is better...
some of downhill trail got to cycle....
if u see all downhiller seat is not so low...
no need pad lo.....
some time downhill also need to steep forward to decrease any wheelie
for my case, i will stand and pedal up
and u see dh'ler saddle nose is pointing up
for steep forward, i dun experience any wheelie

exactly.... and subject to the dh trail terrain and condition, some u may no need to lower your seatpost, some lower a bit, and some need to the max, solely depends on the trail

abt the saddle height. that really depends.

those DH saddle is kinda high coz its a full sus with 8"++ of travel. the rider don't need to move much, the bike does most of the moving for the rider.

if u're talking abt a hardtail, thats a whole diffrent story all together...

can anyone teach me "Attack position" and "how to shift weight during downhill"?
please!

shift weight for downhill = you place most of your body mass behind the saddle, extend your arm, pedals horizontal (to avoid snagging up anything, plus you're not gonna pedal downhill anyway), hands firmly gripping while one or two fingers ready to lightly tap the brakes for control

attack position? for xc riders, attack position is for during start of the race, seriously tough hill climb and during the final few hundred meters to the finish line. all style varies.

seriously tough hill climb means you drop into larger gears (yes, tougher gears), and stand up and strain your calf muscles. this one is major anaerobic sesssion, so learn your breathing techniques or else you will suffer from muscle cramps

Think of it this way. the suntour, v-brakes (SD3's only tongue.gif ) etc are just packaging material for the frame. If buy a XTC Comp frame alone... it's about RM4K list price and this package is only RM3K including v-brakes, suntour and deore 2010. OK wat tongue.gif
