Attack of The Blueberry Clones - Averaging 50 MPH in Mammoth

[@testdirver]

smooth tarmac, almost no cars, at 80km/h awesome

[@Flashback_Jack]

I'm a simple man. I see a SAFA Brian video, I click.

[@chriscarol4965]

Doing nearly constantly 50+ in a 35 zone and crossing solid lines to pursue the best possible line under clear blue skyes in a wonderful surrounding and getting tossed around by the wind….. Marvelous and simply beautiful and fun! 😂 Would love to have a downhill run that long in my area. ❤

[@rgboss1337]

I´m from Germany and we aren´t allowed to exceed the speed limit, even with bikes because you could lose your drivers licence.

[@Oxibase]

We don’t have hills at all where I live.

[@skynyrdrocksss]

The crazy thing about this descent is that you can actually make a right turn onto the highway (which has an adequate sized bike lane) and quickly reconnect to another winding canyon that descends another 10+ miles. These mountains are amazing.

[@bethearl8686]

Thanks!

[@SAFABrian]

You bet! Thank you

[@junebugcomputer]

Is it just me, watching Brian’s videos I’m in awe and anxious at the same time.

[@DB-ez9ud]

I was just in Mammoth, sadly without my bike, dreaming of how amazing some of the descents in the area would be. Great to see it. Cheers from Australia.

[@jdklc]

Wow - Saffa picks great lines and is so committed to them - he really sees the the line and has the experience and trust to know his bike and tires can do it - killer vid (my butt may unclench in about 20 minutes)

[@tylerharvey3688]

I can't wait for my first big descent!! Your videos are very meditative to me.

Incredible run, so smooth and fast! Can't wait for the next.

[@vaninaleksey]

Great road and beautiful cycling kits.

[@CanJmpToo]

Some raw speed right there, you seem to be on rails too! I reckon a bigger crankset would have been perfect for this one, hitting 130rpms at those speeds is no joke

[@SAFABrian]

54/40 on there. I don't have the legs to ride anything bigger for day to day activities

[@CanJmpToo]

@@SAFABrian if I may, how do you pick rim depth? is it a compromise between speed and maneuverability with crosswind? And for tires width?

[@SAFABrian]

With the Syncros Capital SL wheels being only 1290g for a 60mm wheelset it's pretty much always that depth now. No need to worry about climbing or maneuverability when the wheels are that light. If it's too windy for those wheels it's probably too windy to be riding fast. Tyres are 28mm as those are what these wheels are designed for, but I might go up to 30 if I want a bit more squish on rough unchartered roads.

[@CanJmpToo]

@@SAFABrian thanks for the info - nice setup!

[@TheMuscleDocMethod]

DOPE!!! Cant wait for the Mammoth Gran Fondo in Sept. Its going to be epic. Pray For Speed!!

[@0---RABB1T---0]

i love you safa brian, you inspire me so much, you dont even know. keep the rubber side down!

[@Tomridesandruns]

Watxhing from the UK those roads are dreamy but you've got balls of steel - great video guys

[@terrymorse]

Rock Creek Road was the first climb on the Everest Challenge, a 2-day stage race with the same vertical as Mt. Everest. I remember it well. Sadly, the race is no longer held. The high speed descents under race conditions was one of the reasons cited for denying a permit to the race organizers.

[@SAFABrian]

I still see remnants of that race from past times in the area on Strava.

[@amged-al-omda]

Wow beautiful video ❤❤

[@Jason-t7f1t]

Literally going above the speed limit at times lol

[@skynyrdrocksss]

I've been hoping we'd get a Rock Creek Descent video!! Because I have a deep love for these mountains and Mammoth lakes in particular i feel like i should add some additional info. Rock Creek Rd is the highest paved road in California at 10,255 ft. It looks like they started a little lower than the very top as there is a rougher tarmac section (still easily rideable but not as fast or fun to descend) that I didn't notice here and their starting elevation was around 9,800 ft. Additionally, anyone who's considering riding this should also know that you can continue the fun descent by making a right turn onto the highway followed by another quick right onto another stretch of Rock Creek Rd that drops another 10 miles or so down to Bishop. Cheers!

[@HeartTwentyTwo]

SANO SPIN SAFA!🎉

[@mohdzulfadli6276]

The only thing missing is a brake sensor so that I could learn when to brake like you guys and get the most out of it

[@prince027]

This area is usually crowded with cars and skiers in winter. Used to take my son to ski classes there from Bishop. Wondering if SAFA will ride down 168 from Lake Sabrina to Bishop or from Tioga pass to Lee Vining. That'd be cool!

[@vespacapetown5137]

Awesome ride dudes! 🤙 Imagine the sick footage with a drone follow cam like we've seen in the tdf this year!? 🥳

[@the_real_cansin]

It is fun to see that both bikes has the solid version of the seatpost. The CFT version (3 piece one) is a real pain in the ass. It is just creaking no matter what I did. I eventually ended up with ordering the solid one and waiting for the delivery hope it will solve my problem… I think scott should sell the bike with the solid seatpost by default or they should offer a replacement for free at the purchase.

[@SAFABrian]

We use them cos we like the weight saving. Havn't had issues with the 3 piece, and it is noticeably more compliant. Both posts are supposed to be torqued to 10nm, I think a lot of people don't know that and have it far under tightened and then blame poor design. Not sure if that applies to you.

[@the_real_cansin]

@@SAFABrian thanks for reply. My seatpost torqued to 10nm too unfortunately it doesn’t help in my case. Putting a thin piece of inner tube between the parts was the best solution for a while but even the inner tube method doesn’t work for a very long time. I am waiting for the replacement 3 piece post via warranty also bought the solid one myself. But to be honest the bike is perfect other than the seatpost issue.

[@stuarttaylor4828]

@@the_real_cansin Team DSM also uses only the solid seatpost. Are you using the Molykote grease like the manual says? Also, did Scott want your seatpost back to inspect it before giving you a new one?

[@the_real_cansin]

@@stuarttaylor4828 I tried molykote for a while but it helps no more than 100km. Also molykote is leaking easily from the connection points of the parts. Scott did not ask for an inspection for the replacement probably becasue they redesigned the seatpost and they added a plastic material between the parts to prevent rubbing and my current seatpost is the old version. So I will have the all 3 seatpost versions in very soon. I can update here after testing the others.

[@stuarttaylor4828]

@the_real_cansin that's strange because my LBS said Scott would want the part back. Basically I'd have no seatpost for like several months lol.

[@DesertOryx]

So beautiful.

[@lakwatsirongbiker963]

I love bike🚴 nice road and very nice down hill wow so pass👉👍💪

[@scottykicker27]

What chain ring are you running to be able to still push 400 watts downhill ?

[@Liubomyr7]

I wonder how do they get there? Also by bikes?

[@bethearl8686]

This is nice but I prefer your descents through mountain passes. I'm still going back to your Switzerland videos.

[@SAFABrian]

Hard to beat those kind of roads.

[@derekgrieve7521]

Can you tell me what bottom bracket you run please?

[@roman.b_90]

Вот это спуск, скорость под 90, отлично

[@jonathanz9889]

Curious why you don't just go 60t front chainring so you don't end up running out of gearing?

Try riding downhill (need shuttle) from top of hwy 155 to hwy 65. Also hwy 190 west to hwy 65. You will get tired of tight, fast turns!

My only question is how can there be no cars. Can we have the deleted scenes with the close calls?
