Mono Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 no harm done, neither to the ramp, nor the wheel, nor to the smartphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Is that what they are called? That was my first ks14c crash; newer wheels are incomparably better because their pedal hardness and thicker axle allow you to jump or bounce over such obstacles. No way can you bounce a KS14c over that, at least not without busting something important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use my knees and ankles to lead the wheel over the ramp. Still need to work on the technique when going backwards, as we can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, during a speedy dismount one anyways has to avoid entanglement with the wheel to not stumble over it. But yeah, sturdy shoes/boots are quite on top of my list of useful safety gear, all of which I don't wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
