I've had several hard falls this summer due to my rear wheel spinning out on dusty curves on the trail. If my memory serves me correctly, each time I was climbing and thus my weight would be more forward on the bike. I THINK that I was in the granny gear each time, though I am unsure of that. I was today.
MTB falls are just going to happen, that is a given. Is there something that might be going on with my body position that could make this more likely? I believe I had just down-shifted the rear to get up the hill... I've seen far more dust on the trails earlier in the summer, but there was still a good amount of dust present. I seem to be prone to this type of fall so I suspect it is something I am doing...or NOT doing.
