| Getting your knee down seemed to make no difference last weekend. I used my knees on every single corner and was still slower than you, but I feel a lot more comfortable doing it as it gives me a clear indication of lean angle.
It does, however, have it's own problems. Coming into the right at the bottom of the mountain, and the old hairpin, I had to lift my right knee a long way off the ground to stop it smacking the kerb. Several times my concentration slipped for a split-second forcing me to adjust my line and roll off the gas.
Personally I think you'll go quicker once you're comfortable doing it, but you're quick enough as it is so feel free to stay upright for as long as you like!
Cheers,
