Hope you are having a great day!

I decided not to put loctite on as I might sell the bike next year... It's something I monitor consistently with the state of my rims as I clean the bike down after a ride.

Yesterday I had quite a good ride, the weather was cooler than usual and not so much wind. There was a very interesting cloud formation too... You don't often appreciate those things on a DF. I overtook a number of riders going up a 2% gradient. There was one guy 100m in front practicing with...

Come on Larry... Time to hammer it!

Well I found this but you have to wait for everyone to finish. Can't believe a $10k event hasn't got a leaderboard. All those punters could have had a gamble. Anyways... Good luck Larry...

The bike bling fund ... I luv it. The good thing about training is you are only beating your PB and you don't need new gear. If you live up in the mountains then I could understand changing everything in order to do the "Perez" thing. Guess I triple the bike budget next year and forget about...

Just relived Jason's epic. Guess everyone will want to go with hydraulic brakes after that!

Great write up. Loved the play with the word "crown". Guess Derek is pretty sore after that ride! Why not go pro and go after some race money and sponsorship? Clearly you have your heart in the right place and have enough zest to manifest your dreams. More and more people are riding, I can...

Love the sense of humor. Naaaaa seriously, "quite" in your text should be "quiet". I thought it was a good read.

60.3 kph today ... Down a relatively small hill. I just wonder what a great big hill would be like.

"It's in the bag" The 60kph limit achieved. Bit surprised as there was a lot of side wind and cars so I didn't stick the power down until towards the end. In February I thought it impossible to break the 53kph barrier. It just didn't want to budge. The biggest change for me this year is...

Telephd, I looked up the description on Amazon and KMC say the 10spd is reusable but the 11spd not. So... I will wait until I get the 11 speed SRAM drivechain (probably next year). The SRAM missing link can just be pressed together and bingo the chain comes apart. I know some riders have...

I have a V20 and if I hit gravel I sit upright pretty quickly. The Cruzbike really gives you a total body workout. Bienvenido

So the rear bottle cage has moved up So a step in the right direction. Now another look at the front of the bike... I have lost so much weight I can comfortably get rid of this spacer, I am amazed that this hasn't been done before. Now if I can get down that hill faster than 60kph ... I...

Miracle.... Thanks. Haaaa now no excuses for a waxed chain

There's not much more you could have done. Perhaps put the trainer in a pressurization chamber and trained at altitude. That would give you your max wattage. The actual size of you changes the airflow dramatically. Even with less watts you are still faster. (I am assuming of course that you...

All the best, I know a champ when I see one. They pick themselves up... Brush themselves down, get back on and still win.

I have a carbon clincher deep rim which isn't tubeless. It's beautifully made, I ride this with sealant in the inner tube. Even if it gives you a second or two before it deflates can be enough for a safe recovery. http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/deep-rims.10917/

Being airborne @45mph looking at a sharp bend coming quickly at you was even more scarey than a swarm of wasps... Good job the V20 is heavy on the front. The V2 is even heavier so perhaps even better for those manic downhill runs. :eek:

I don't like hitting a steep hill with a full bottle. Try and hit the hill with a half bottle. If you have a giro air attack helmet put the visor up before you hit the hill. I absolutely hate the boiling over feeling that a long hill can give you. I was doing a long hill climb with a heavy bike...
