[quote="jon avery"]54mph is shifting and got me thinking what would be your chances of staying upright if you had a front blow out doing that sort of speed, has it happened to anyone?

Seem to have more of a problem descending these days.

Went down titsey the other day with a strong cross wind. Thought I was gonna go off the edge so slowed it right down to a comfortable 30mph.

[quote="Andrew G"]Titsey can still be fun to go down although as you say Dom a bit bumpy up top these days. My pb down there is 54mph but I tend not to pedal through the top for so long now due to the bumpiness, which if you do allows you to carry the extra few mph in to the sweeping S at the bottom. Normally a 45-48mph descent though, you need to have a clear run in to the S as that's where you always hit your max.
