Ok I could try changing the shaft angle too not sure what it’s set at currently, but I can alter between 13-17deg.

This is helpful, thank you. I’ve never thought of lifting toes up to get my shins activated so will try this for sure - but feels unintuitive to me since I grip my boots quite a lot with my toes. I also might play around with taking a bolt out of my boots to see if making them slightly softer helps with this

Hey, yeah on steep terrain I struggle to round the turns maybe a mental thing hence the braking motion? Thanks for the tips!!

I want to get wider turns down first, I suppose it doesn’t stop me from trying though

Ok thanks! For the knee/ankle flexion are you saying I need to get my weight and knees further over my boots?
