The madison was 54.6 kph, so excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.
Congrats on your athlete doing well at Worlds. |

;-) The amazing thing is that many top level pros would do that in an 88 since that's what they're used to.

Some interesting observations from Professor Jim Martin on various topics, power, aero, crank length, etc. It’s a PCC video, well worth spending some time looking at it, you just need to ignore the ‘gunfight’ in the background! |

2019 Pan Am Games.
Here is some info on the modifications to the velodrome in Lima, Peru. https://www.lima2019.pe/en/detalle-n...dio-atletico-1 |
3d Printed Track dropout, but the price....... AUD 8,750 + Shipping, taxes, duties, and other. And PRESS FIT BB? http://www.instagram.com/p/BnBQ5iwgH...=1xptteqmnmkex |
really sweet dropouts, and adjusters both functional and bling.

And PRESS FIT BB? http://www.instagram.com/p/BnBQ5iwgH...=1xptteqmnmkex I had a lugged carbon road bike once. Squeaked like all hell. I think the glue in one of the main joints broke free and allowed some wiggle or something. They seem to be targeting the "Bling Bike" scene (a-la Rapha). For $6,500, I'll pass :D |
There is still a fair bit of"lugged" carbon being done. Most of the time it's tube-to-tibe wrap, but that's essentially creating a lug. Parlee and Calfee use carbon lugs, as well as many other builders. Granted, the bikes aren't being built in the traditional lugged sense. Usually the lugs are a separate mold that fits over the tube. The inside of the mold is layed up before paying the lug over the tube and then the bike is cured. You can create a custom monocoque this way. It's much easier to make up molds for custom lugs than it is to tool up a mold for a whole frame.

Came here to post that. Not a huge surprise - aguas is the fastest track in the world (the previous record, 4.10, was set at sea level). I heard Lambie was going for the WR and I figured he'd at least come close.
Gavin Hoover held the american IP record there for about four minutes and change. |

Gavin Hoover held the american IP record there for about four minutes and change. Bobridge did have unusual (in a good way) conditions on another fast (albeit sea level) track. Still probably a good chunk of advantage at Aguas though. Aguas has that reputation... although if we've learned anything from the last couple of hour record attempts, it's not a given you just show up and set a record. *also, the new track in Bolivia may just usurp that fastest track in the world title. |

I would love to see another set of Sprint records set, like they used to attempt in the old days. An F200, an F500, and a SS Kilo. These would be the tracks to do it on.

Ashton is the truth! Amazing.
|
The frame said it’s T96, but the description said it’s R96 |
So what happened to S?
|
Unfortunately not good news about Vogel's wreck/recovery.

Words cannot express how sad this news is.

Does anyone have any experience/insights into the Holdsworth Roi De Velo track frame that is available on the Planet X website? I might be in the market for a new frame, but have heard nothing about this bike. (I'm also wary of purchasing things sight unseen from the internet.)

Holdsworth handmade British steel frames from the 1930s to the 1980s including its Zephyr track frame. I still have a Holdsworth steel road bike that I bought in the mid 1980s. I know nothing about Holdsworth frames today but I assume their name was reintroduced since it would resonate with older riders in the UK. |
Colby Pearce crushed the 45-49 Hour Record last night.
First "amateur" to go over 50k (50.245) Probably one of the best hour's we've seen. Super smooth even pacing, riding the black line from start to finish. https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...9d&oe=5C1A0186 |
