What type of bike should I use for HellFire?
Safety first; you should ensure that the bike is properly serviced, with working breaks, you will be descending off mountains with 10% gradients, so you want to feel safe and confident on your bike. Bike choices in terms of Speed: • A road bike (racer) will be the fastest choice for this course. • A triathlon bike would probably be somewhat slower on the climbs and descents. • A mountain bike with slick tyres would be slower. • A mountain bike with knobbly tyres would be slowest of all.
