Race wheels came in, it's a lady-bike now:

 

Teh hotness. Love that color on the C'Dale. Just need to get rid of those plebeian Conti tires and step up to some nice Veloflex or Vittoria clinchers.

 

Do either of those offer as much grip as a GP4K? I have some SWORKS!!!! Turbos to go on next. The big-boy crit here in Dallas has a concrete, 130*, 32-36mph last corner so that's pretty important. It would be nice to go tubeless as well.

 

Ah, probably not quite. I forgot that's your crit machine. It's been a while since I've been on Contis, but I something like Vittoria's Corsa series would probably be just as grippy while also being a bit more supple.

 

In crits I put the tires at 70/80psi, 10psi higher for road races and that's on a 23mm tire. I have to trust that front tire at 35mph when it counts and at that speed on that corner we use all of the track.

Look at this course:

 

1720w please.

39 ******* mph.

 

Couldn't not share the most recent Beartato:

 

Our annual Slip n' Slide ride happened on Saturday. We try to do the most ridiculous steep route from town, then have a BBQ afterwards. Hours 2, 3 and 4 were pretty much only hiking (up) carrying the bikes. It was brutal as always.






Banana costume FTW

 

that last action shot looks like it was about to be painful.

 

he was fine- he somehow missed most of the rocks and landed in soft(ish) dirt.

 

Proper cyclocrossing:

 

I somehow finished 9th of like 60-bros.

 

About to order pink Velotoze, sons.

 

anyone use a Garmin 520? I got a free power meter and need something with ANT+ compatibility...

 

I have a friend selling one for $200, looks new but he scored a Wahoo. Interested?

 

hmmm. i can get it new for slightly less than that... I'm also interested in getting the HR monitor and other stuff (cadence) bundle pack.


I was really asking does the 520 show enough data to be useful? I don't want to ride with an Ipad on my bars if possible.

 

I didn't realize they were that cheap. Okay, bro is dumb. I use a 510, zero desire to upgrade. It shows more data-types and computations than I'll ever need.

 

I also have a 510 and have absolutely no desire to upgrades.

 

They aren't that cheap. I just get the dealz.

Thanks for the info.

 

Dipshit ******* cat-1 propfessional Grayson Keppler decided to do the 4/5 race for the Wednesday Night CX finale, bumping me out of the top-ten on the season as I missed the points thanks to him. ******* *******. I suppose it was a good chance for him to unwind after racing the Tour of Southland in NZ with his pro team. He became quite angry when I yelled at him to "GTFO of here, you ******* suck!" lol
