Not to mention reaching the bottom of Tunnel Vision thinking the 160 Talas needed an overhaul because it felt like the 120 on my hardtail only to discover, oh, I left it down. Again.
I never figured out the slower when dropped thing. I felt it a bit. I thought it may have been the fact that a dropped fork felt the same in a proprioceptive way as it felt like you had fork dive from braking. Who knows. Once a long time ago I was coasting down the Lions Gate bridge and not paying much attention to what I was doing. I decided to slow down a bit and pulled on the brakes a bit but my fingers weren’t on the levers so I just squished the grips. It felt like a sped up. Weird. More weird was that I could replicate that feeling knowing that I was squeezing only the grips.
