5 Reasons You're Cornering Badly!

- Cornering in mountain biking can be confusing! You need to lean enough but not too much, choose your braking zones, and pick the fastest line. All this while keeping an eye out for obstacles like trees, roots, and rocks. Rich Payne aims to simplify things by telling you what not to do, so you can focus on the fundamentals of keeping your bike rubber side down.

What tyre pressures are you using at the moment? Have you played around with your bike setup much? Let us know!👇
40 - 45 for city riding (Metro Detroit will have you going through mixed terrain), and about 30 - 35 rear and front respectively, or I might just match up the numbers if I'm on a faster and flowier track. Having a firmer front tire helps me with cornering speed. What width was your Vittoria Mazza's btw?
2.6" at but typically 22 rear 18 front on trails (+/- a pound or 2.) 165 lbs with gear. Rear insert. Front tube.
25/28 without inserts - 2.4 Rekon FT/2.35 Rekon Race RT. 23/25 with inserts, 2.5 Assagi FT, 2.4 DHRII RT on my mullet set (carbon non-evo Stumpjumper)
I think it's important to note the width of your tires when stating your PSI's. Those Mazzas he mentioned being at 23 -25 psi looked like they were 29 x 2.3's. Different tire widths have different air volume, which affects their maximum tire pressure and therefore, the pressure recommended for that tire will be different than a tire wider or narrower than it.
Correct! and the width of your rims, and the surface you'll be riding.
For example, I run 2.6's in 36mm id rims. This creates a LOT of air volume (the bigger the air volume the lower the psi for the same feel).
Additionally I weigh almost 100 kgs, but ride on very soft loamy terrain, so I can get away with 16f/20r.
If I go to a rocky place I bump it up to 20f/24r 👍
Well explained Rich and illustrated. Practice Practice Practice , Cheers - M
That's something I've got to work on.
AUW 95kg+cake
Trail bike, Kenda Hellkat 27.5 x 2.4 front no insert 18-20 psi, Nevegal 2 27.5 x 2.4 rear no insert 27-28 psi
starting to wonder if I need to up my front pressure but I can't take trail buzz in my wrist.
Gmbn "How to corner?" video no 53 😊
Would love to see carving incorporated here somewhere. For high speed flat corners, it’s a skill I’m trying to work on.
keep your weight a bit more forward than usual (I know, scary but necessary) and pump (push into the berm) on your way out
@@uldi1s pumping the berm and counter steering as necessary on the way out is getting easier, but the counter steer before the turn to start the carve is where I’m struggling.
@@matthewlramsey have a look at Pinkbike's Ben Cathro's S3 E2, his explanations on body position might help in your case 😎
#ASK/GMBN: Do tire inserts allow you to run lower tire pressures, while still giving proper support under hard braking/turning?
Support comes from the sidewalls, not so much the carcass. As long as the bead of the tire is seated well on the bead or hook of the rim, lower pressures will not have a negative effect under ha4d braking/cornering. I run 20-22 on a 2.6" rear with insert. No problems on all trails from super hard tech to easy ST...
Yes, that's what the sales pitch for tire insert manufacturers. I've never used them so I can't say for sure.
Could have used this refresher yesterday lol. Big slide out on a muddy corner, poor line choice. Great to see a NP bike back on a video!
Looks like we were too late! Hope you're not too injured 🤘
Not a scratch luckily. Somehow landed in a kneepad slide that was kind of cool 😆
Styled it out 🔥
what model of ergon is the saddle?
That's the Ergon SM Enduro Comp Men 🤘With oil slick of course 👀
So... who won the Reynolds wheels? Have I missed the video where the winner was announced?
That will be announced in todays Dirt Shed Show! Don't miss it 👀
I love throwing myself into all sorts of bad lines, especially into corners.
Nah seriously it's pretty enjoyable 😂
Purposefully picking poor lines is a lifestyle 🤘
Dam wish I could try but my bike had been stolen, it was a norco sight a3 :(
Sorry to hear! Hopefully it gets returned to you 🤞
reasons I'm cornering badly: none of the trials near me have corners.
That'll do it! 😂
@molybdnum How?
On natural Trails body stays upright,the only what has to move is your bike
where is this that you are riding?
Finale Ligure, Italy
cathro says head above the bars🙃
Do the same moves apply on e bikes because of their weight. Don't think you are able to use your hips to flick around the corners a easily.
The same rules apply, some people prefer the handling of an e-bike as they have a lower centre of gravity!
Only 5? If you've seen me ride you'd know there are more :P
most important tip for cornering: buy a premium tire in a tubeless setup
It certainly helps add support!
One of the most BASIC rules of setup; A balanced suspension (on FS bikes) When I see, hear or read a rider has 30%-35% Rear Sag and 15%-20% Front Sag...I cringe. 🙄😂 Front to Rear should not vary more than 5% in sag.
What about the rear sag on my hardtail, I have my 170mm RST stich up front, should I run a 3.0 tires in the back at 9psi? 😛
Yehhh just keep pumping them up till zero sag front and back. Only way to get that consistency you’re looking for.
That's why I said only on a FS. omfg.... 🙄@@LaurentiusTriarius
🤦♂@@dirtsurfernz
Nah I disagree.
More sag on the back when setting your bike up on a level surface. When the trail points downhill, this will naturally weight the front and unweight the back, evening things up.
If you set up equal then you would have a fork sitting very low in its travel, and rear sitting very high, if riding anything steep. That's the opposite of what you want.
