that must be great living in the pyrenees, I live in a almost completely flat part of ohio, but I've hit 51 going a really steep hill.

b4 i put a new bottom bearing i did 45mph down lindum hill in lincoln (its one of the biggest hills in lincoln) but i beat that by doing 55mph and it was alot of fun

 

[Roberto badgio]

[bikedude40k]

88kph (55mph) as a 16 year old, 52x13 was in a race, fairly long hill but technical and not all that steep. Was sprinting to get across to a break.

76kph (47.5mph) as a 14 year old 39x13 out training.

63.2 MPH on a 9 miler with an average of about 10%, and a long straight section. Then I turned around an went back up at around 11 MPH. HA

56mph. I actually caught a car... I was to scared to look down. I kept thinking about how much skin I'd lose if something broke...

I've got a hill I train on a lot that's usually good for 40mph in a nice tuck. Has a 90 degree corner at the bottom that leads right onto the highway...

I think it's fun to see how much faster you can go tucked, or sitting straight up on the same hill. It's pretty fascinating. Also, when to finally just give up and quit peddling.

 

[Fastguppy]

Someone said at nationals we hit 72 mph going down this one hill. It was more like 65 mph though.

 

[J@co]

I've gone 80.5km/h with my old steel frame (that's 50.01mp/h). I prefer speeding on flat road or uphill though...

 

[redbacks]

I went down a hill in bendigo called one tree hill, it's about 2km climb then have a rest at the top , then flaten it down got 76km/h last month. im 17 at the moment, when i was 15 my top speed down it was 40, i've come a long way.

There is no bloody way you got going 105 mph!!! By then I would think that the ball bearings would have started smoking and your wheels would have just fallen off. I don't believe it, honeslty.

 

[motorex259]

lol..... that is how i lost my bike.... i am an idiot, my parents wont let me spend at 5$ on bike stuff again since then....
