So I'm into day 2 of practicing trackstands both free and fixed as directed by trashzen. Its' surprisingly tiring and I've got sum aches in odd places as well as sum bruises(now wearing shinpads). Longest stand is probably only about 2 seconds, but progress is definitely being made. Also tried riding up a shallow slope veeerrrry slowly to improve balance. seems to work quite well and feels like your doing a bit more that wobbling and falling off; a lot. tried some bunny hops and think I'm starting to get booth wheels off the floor sometimes but stopped when i realized my front spokes are badly under-tensioned to the point some have bent slightly. will have a crack at that tomorrow. also my hydraulic rim brake needs bleeding but knew about that and have ordered a kit as well as a new brake cable as the one on there is broken and bent; which makes the brake feel sluggish.
Any hints,thoughts or questions welcome in the comments!
