when i brake with my rimbrakes i feel like im not gonna stop but when i watch safa's videos i feel so confident until i ride my bike again 🥶

[@CapitalProject01]

Maybe u need a new set

[@fulstbabor4977]

If you ride rim brakes in the rain, you get them contaminated with oil and other nasties from the road, also be careful when cleaning/oiling your bike. I replace my rim brake blocks every 6 months minimum. Look after your brakes and they will look after you.😀

[@ordelia9083]

@@fulstbabor4977 dang seriously? its been raining like hell where i live and when i ride out i feel like im gonna die when chasing traffic

[@SAFABrian]

Rim brakes in the rain are no fun at all. I never push it in the wet, and least of all on rim brakes. Gotta get used to having no response for the first second or two when using rim brakes in the wet. In the dry they should work well tho.

[@loc9588]

tighten them up or get some new blocks

I can only dream of having descents like this, best I have ib my little island is a 1km hill that's like 100m elev so it's over in a minute or two.

[@jakebrown3822]

'Least favourite corner on the whole descent'.... Literally. I dunno what it is about that corner but I've nearly binned it there so many times.

[@SAFABrian]

Strange camber, decreasing radius, and a really hard approach due to the prior corners. Oh yeah and a car might be coming the other way but now way to know 😅

[@dailydriven9878]

It’s off-cambered that’s why all you n00bs are crossing the double yellow

[@SAFABrian]

@@dailydriven9878 yep our first time riding bikes. How did we do?

[@Thirtyeight45]

Please give allowance to each other, also stay on your line coz I noticed that you're all overshooting. Accidents are surprises and it's just taking seconds. BTW i love that descent. Slow down on curves, stay alert and safe!

so god damn cool SAFA thanks so much for the dope content.............

[@fluxed2100]

I'd love to do some decent after I decide to buy a better bike rather than the Chinese 500$ road bike I am using right now. Viewer from Bali/Indonesia

[@SprayIgniteBoom]

nothing wrong with Chinese, just recommend ‘aluminum rims’ 700c x 23mm and rim brakes. Don’t believe the marketing hype…would love to know the frequency/wear of the disc brakes Safa and others like him have. Horses 🐴 for courses. Keep pedaling

[@adamweb]

California has to be the best state for road cycling!

[@jpslayermayor9293]

Agree! lived in Zurich, CH area and Copenhagen, DK and currently live in greater Malibu area. I have to say for year round cycling the Santa Monica Mountains CA area (where this ride was recorded) has a great mix of mountains, smooth roads, flats sections with shoulders if need to stop. In the winter its common to run into pro teams and riders getting in the miles for base (e.g. I read that Chris Froome was here this past winter, and Geraint Thomas last year) . I like road cycling here more than in Switzerland bc in Switzerland, the car drivers get angry if riders arent in single file (the law) and will cut close to cyclists to scare them or honk horns when on your rear wheel. It takes the fun out of group rides for the 3-4 months when the weather is good enough to ride. Here, just as many if not more cyclists on the road, less road rage from cars, and can ride 12 months of the year with the hottest month only averaging 80F for highs with low humidity

[@dailydriven9878]

@@jpslayermayor9293 I agree almost entirely, except it was 95+ degrees just a few days ago in the Samo mountains. You should follow all road laws (like staying in the lane, not crossing over the double yellow and riding single-file in small groups) if you value your life. Even in California.

This crew pumps these rides out every week 🙌

[@C345OFR]

Couple of things: 1. Like Safa says, these guys have the miles in their legs. The more/longer you ride, the easier it gets. 2. Their bikes are no joke either. No way I'd be able to rush 100 miles on my 6061 Aluminium commuter, whereas my restomod Reynolds 531 road bike can gobble up the miles. I'm guessing the next step up to some of these carbon bikes is equally as big.

[@jpslayermayor9293]

Yeah Iive and ride here including that road in video, I think not to be sexist but when you have group of women and men a lot of women are afraid of corners (at least to my eye as former ski racer and motocross and current cycling ). This road is deceptively steep from the gopro view and with the corners being blind much of the time it can seem frightening to less experienced or without the nerve. I kept hearing the brake dragging like you and and it annoyed me bit as well (inefficiency). I kept thinking I would have been pulling away from this group just coasting with my head down in drops.

[@scottsaunders2426]

He’s riding safe on a decent within a mixed group out on a fun ride. With his weight I think he’d have no problem keeping on her wheel. 👍🏿

[@krtong]

do you ever descent on the hoods? my neck feels too locked in position in the drops and I like getting my upper body more into the inside of the corner to keep the bike itself more upright.

[@AaronAMVs]

The risk of descending in the hoods is braking too fast and losing grip... Hands go flying, you go flying. In the drops your hands aren't going anywhere.
