bikecad looks very promising! They encourage us to upload designs, and I think the video is suggesting that we measure our current (production) bikes to catalog how our bikes are built.

Thanks for the complete response, MarkWW.

I've been to t-town as a spectator. I also tried the track on my road bike when it was empty. I'm aware of the many differences. Kissena may not be a...

Hiya everyone. I've raced five or six nights at Kissena Velodrome this summer, each time entering three races or so. I'm now a Cat 4 racer, owing to the number of races I've been, not to any success...

Squats on race day

I just saw the Shimano chain whip on the interwebs. Looks to be good, and at that price, it better be.

The Wipperman one looks good, to, and it's only $21.

It will be worthwhile for me to buy a serious chain whip. Enough with buying cheap tools. They don't save money at all.

My chain whip sucks. I gotta get a grown up chain whip. I could have gone to the LBS to have them change the cog, but I was determined. Eventually, I got it off with a big channel lock. Wow, I didn't...

Yeah, that's all true, and it's good you put it in that perspective. Of course, there are limits. I'm sure if my track bike weighed 48 pounds, its weight would cause me problems in races.

Handlebars

What about handlebars? I put Nitto steel bars on the...

I found I own a pair of Shimano pedals that look like Look pedals. Are they SPD-SL? If I remember right, SPD-SL and Look look similar but are not interchangeable. Do I remmeber right?
