I don't speak French or Japanese. I'm just in it for the bikes and the racing :D

didn't understand a word of that, but I loved it. Thanks for sharing!!

Merci. Tres bien! :thumb:

Get on this level:

Nice video!

I knew he'd had to make financial sacrifices in order to fund his training / travelling to events etc but the bit about the tyres really hits home the extent of it.

Didn't see it posted yet. Here's the link to the livestream for LAGP: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/velocenter

Today and tomorrow starting at 9pm Eastern.

Wish I went this year. Especially since its about 2deg here this weekend. Oh well, next year..

Yeah, the racing looked fun.

Anyone have a link to coverage of worlds this weekend? UCI is only playing Sunday night (at like 1130pm est)

I believe the coverage starts at 5:00 pm EST Sunday.

Looks like Cavendish and Keisse are riding Dolan DF4 rather than Specialized at the Gent Six Day

close encounter with a cat too!

Good eye!

I've seen Specialized make 1-off bikes for Cav for winter 6-day stuff. I guess they didn't do that this year.

Can't say Ive seen too many cats on the track, especially indoors.

I once caught a butterfly in the mouth at IVBP

Of note - some photos show Andreas Muller riding his black-painted Giant Omnium, yes, aluminum in the Ghent 6.

I used it to finally pull the trigger on a rotor track crank. Review to follow shortly!

looks like the same carbon giant hes been using forever.

Revolution scratch race, with a mic & a camera on Luke Rowe

looking forward to hearing about this!
What head unit are you using?

Only used it for Saturday's race night so far, Im using a garmin 500 and it sync'd up just fine. Install was a breeze, external cups and standard bolts, took 20mins. Rotor crank looks awesome with an 'aero' ring, looks like 1 solid piece.

Data looks ok, I assume. Ive never had power on the track, its a little odd seeing zeros in the power I thought it would be a few watts still always. This is when coming off the front in a very short and fast paceline, like a TP half-lap pulls, goes from say 600w to zero suddenly. Cadence seems correct, although it tossed a couple of zeros in there during the zero power, so it looks a little funky.

I have a feeling it ignores/doesnt send cadence data when there is zero power, assumes I am coasting. Makes sense for a road/mtb mentality. While its not a problem, all it does is bring average cadence down a touch. Not sure if its normal or what. Looking at a friend's PT data it doesnt do that, even though it uses the power to predict cadence, it smooths it out.

I dont know what software will read left-right data, probably GC. Not sure I care yet anyway. Something like a scratch race data is pretty pointless really, its all over the place. Im most interested in kilo/pursuit/f200 data from nationals in 4 weeks.

Can't recall if posted here and the search function has much to be desired...

Hmmmm....that's interesting. You should get cadence data even if you are "floating" over the pedals and not applying any pressure to them. It sounds like they are using an algorithm that senses pressure on the cranks an transmit that every revolution (just like SRM), but with SRM, it takes a long time of it not feeling any pressure at all for it to assume that you are off the bike. So, it's still broadcasting cadence.

I'm curious. Did you have to install any sort of magnet/switch/thingy near the BB that interacts with the cranks? Lack thereof is a clue to how they are making it work.

I love the papers on that site. I've read all of them :D
