(if i knew which anthony you are id be better for advice)

This one

Anthony fam did a few thousand km's on tiagra

Though he spells his last name differently.

T-Bone

Definitely not enough food, unless they haven't mentioned the kilos of chips.

T-Bone

I've got the last 75km of the race if anyone wants to watch it.

T-Bone

Dura-Ace doesn't wear quicker than Ultegra/105! I'm guessing it would be the same for Red compared to Force/Rival. Wear really comes down to your maintenance routine. Chainrings are prettymuch all going to be alloy, Dura-Ace cassettes get a few extra Ti cogs compared to ultegra, and chains are prett...

T-Bone

The group is a bb7700
......
is it worth getting?

Sounds like 9spd Dura-Ace. You're best going with 10spd these days for the ease of finding parts or borrowing stuff.

T-Bone

I just bought a laptop from them, unfortunately UPS still has it since i wasn't at home today.

T-Bone

Bob doesn't need two wheels, a second one would just slow him down.

T-Bone

I was stuck in lectures with no wifi signal (underground room) so missed out.

T-Bone

Don't worry Alex, i missed it too. A week of not enough sleep caught up with me and i decided i was too tired after getting up, though getting a work related phone call in the middle of the night didn't help much.

T-Bone

The question is do entries open at 12am or am i going to have to enter in the middle of one of my lectures......

T-Bone

If there's rain we will notify of any cancellation on the forum by 6:15am (probably closer to 6am). Someone will also be at Mick Mazzas at 6:30am to let any others know.

T-Bone

Great fun at the Omnium, even though i was stuck in team KHS. I was stuck with a gearing of 74inches, while Tim on another KHS had 84inches, i think Simon was undergeared too.

Luckily for me the gearing didn't seem to affect too much for both Madisons, just the flying 200 and 2km pursuit.

T-Bone

It's correct apart from your early modifications.

The only issue i see with your route is crossing Old Canterbury Rd, which i don't think is the safest if there's a bit of traffic around.

T-Bone

I'll be there, most likely C grade for me.

T-Bone

yeah, no worries, i'll find a place for it, just make sure you bring some bolts to mount it.

T-Bone

I'll bring the cage to the track tonight.

T-Bone

I'm pretty sure i've got one you can borrow, i'll try to find it tomorrow.

T-Bone

He's away for the next few weeks.

T-Bone

That footage is of Joff, nice guy who rode around the world on his penny. He should be allowed back in the country now (was banned for 2yrs for overstaying). Probably a good idea to skip the Century Christian. I remember last time you did it you stuffed your knee up for touring. We actually get 28kg...

T-Bone

Stra... Sheffield

T-Bone

I could possibly be dragged into the second team if needed.

T-Bone

Doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully the breaks aren't too complicated and he gets better soon.

I wouldn't mind giving these two books a read. I'm reading a Fausto Coppi book at the moment.

According to cyclingnews, he referred Trent Lowe for a V02 test, so not really any doping there, but it was against the team rules to use an unapproved doctor. I reckon he'll be fine.

T-Bone

From memory 1 calorie is 4.2Kj. Though as has been mentioned the calculated amounts by HRM arevery inaccurate, so you really need a Power Meter.

T-Bone

I assume the bikes are ok? The bike looks alright, held together for the rest of the ride. Just need to chuck in another bar end plug, probably some new bar tape (and check over the bars at that time), and then just the tyres (though i shouldn't really have been training on the veloflex, but those ...

1st ride back on the road today. 1st time cracking for the year, supposed easy 80km ride was a not so easy 125km ride (mainly cramps, but i was rooted). Last of all, first time crashing for the year. Silly crash, touched John's wheel when he slowed slightly and down i went with Tim following me, and...

T-Bone

There's always next time Tim. I didn't even get out to do some training as i've ended up getting sick.

T-Bone

I'm interested too, just have to dig out some rear lights.

At the moment i'm stuck at home waiting for some rims to be delivered. I couldn't even go riding this morning,just in case they showed..

T-Bone

Looks like the bots are at it again....

T-Bone

The highway is fine, not sure about bells line, and you can just leave early and head straight down parramatta road to jump on the M4 at Parramatta.

T-Bone

What's the hill your thinking of?

I've ridden to Brown Mountain and Mount Hotham to name a couple.

T-Bone

My dad's on the same flight, just not sure what his plans are yet.

T-Bone

Sounds more like the 6 day madison point scoring. Laps trump points. Though i have a feeling they get a lap with every 50 or 100 points... but the multiple days also assist them in getting that many points.

T-Bone

Jetstar don't give you any extra luggage allowance for bikes, while Virgin gives an extra 5kg. They do have bike boxes, so it's not all bad, just make sure your bike is within the weight allowance and you'll be fine (i hate paying excess luggage when certain others don't have to).

ya the tyre was flat, i went away for the weekend and when i came back i noticed half way into work it was flat (not just low tyre pressure, i could press my finger all the way to the rim) I was half expecting it to be flat again this morning, but still all good. Not really a flat according to this...

T-Bone

I'm booked in on the same friday flight, but i'm heading home on the monday.

T-Bone

There's not really many towns on day 4, and no reason people can't skip Strahan on day 3. Rather than having a day off at Miena, you could ride to Derwent Bridge/ Lake St Clair, which would shorten the following day.

T-Bone

I'll probably fly down on the friday and back on the monday, might get around to booking tonight. Here's my plans for touring: Day 1 Evandale to Miena - 104km Day 2 Miena to Queenstown - 142km Day 3 Queenstown to Tullah - 125km Day 4 Tullah to Sheffield - 101km Day 5 Sheffield to Evandale - 120km Th...

I can't seem to find the values from when i was measured at uni (i don't think we actually needed them for the assignment). From memory i was about 7-9% body fat (can't remember if it was 7 or 9), measured by underwater weighing. I was measured prior to this and i was 12%. The best way to measure bo...

T-Bone

Between Miena and Bronte Park, on the way to Derwent Bridge (Marlborough Hwy). The Sealed road alternative is an extra 140km (haven't checked every alternate road...)

T-Bone

Great work guys!! All that practice has payed off!

T-Bone

I could use a few things, but i'll be at work. Might have to send someone along to do some buying.

T-Bone

There is actually approximately 28km of unsealed road in my route

T-Bone

Neither of you knew that Super Reecord was around all through the 80s and 90s.

I didn't think there was any Super "Reecord"......

T-Bone

Your waist should be measured at the narrowest part, usually around the same height as the belly button, but definitely not around the pelvic bones (you're not measuring your hips).

And... My race weight/ off-season weight/ anytime weight is 65-66kg, never seems to change with or without training.

T-Bone

Ok, Here's what i'm thinking, though i'm still deciding on the direction.

T-Bone

I'll post a map of my route shortly. This year the century ride is on Thursday the 10th, the road race is on Friday the 18th and the fair/nationals is on the 19th. Also, i have confirmation that the information on the website was incorrect, and the century and road race take place as normal, Century...

T-Bone

Similar to what i'm thinking, though i've got some extra bits.

T-Bone

Definitely a good bit of fun, even though none of this short stuff suits me. That excellent Bernard beer definitely helped with recovery.

T-Bone

I hadn't even gotten to checking the dates yet... i'll have to make sure i save something to defend my road race title after touring. Me and Lindsay were talking about going west. Due to the level of difficulty with the terrain on the west coast, someone may want to organise something easier. I'll m...

T-Bone

Back in Sydney, so no more trying to post things via my phone.

I ended in 20th overall, and Mark in 26th. I'll post a race report tomorrow.

T-Bone

Stage 2. Timetrial.

I finished in 32nd, moving to 22nd overall.
Mark finished in 50th, dropping a place to 46th.

Full details are available at http://mobile.your-sports.com/details/i ... 57&lang=en

T-Bone

24th place for me, 4min behind. Got stuck at the back of 2 joined bunches at the bottom of tawonga, so missed the move.

Mark is in 45th place in masters 4/5, 9 min behind.

Could just be tight tolerances on the frame, you can always rub a little grease around the bearing and see if that helps. If the push to get the bearings in seems excessive then you can always find a shop with the right tool to use a reamer on the bearing seats. Anyway, on a Parlee i'd expect it to ...

T-Bone

If it didn't need the parts replaced (chainring, etc.) $1000 would be a pretty good price. The Look forks would have saved 100g, so they can be considered an upgrade. You're looking at $120 for a new Dura Ace large chainring, but on the other hand Pedals are included.... so i'd say maybe try for $90...

T-Bone

Looks nice and light!!! I'm guessing the Ultegra is Pedals??

The Yokozuna cables are very nice to use, just make sure you've got something to protect the frame from cable rub.

Don't the 7900 Cranks come with the bottom bracket tool? The 7800 cranks always did.

T-Bone

I'd better not catch anyone looking at my Vittorias funny!!

T-Bone

Derailleur rebuild..... Fail. It seems i've lost a nylon washer/spacer on the road when the derailleur was torn apart.

I think i'll scavenge from my touring bike for now, and hopefully get a new derailleur before Bright.

T-Bone

Hmm, Tension disc or Grain Mill.....

T-Bone

It's straightened out now, just have to rebuild my derailleur now.

T-Bone

I'll take it to Bundy to get straightened out.

I was riding up Renwick st, and changed gears. The chain must have jammed or something, so the derailleur was torn in half and i only noticed the bent hanger after the walk home.

T-Bone

This was the result of a nice easy ride from taking the car to get serviced.

T-Bone

Japan.

This photo says Araya. Doesn't look like a lightweight to me.

Whatever happened to that?

It got lost in the depths of the Nonbikerelated talking thread!!

I would think that if run under the uci, entry would have to be through cycling nsw, which is the case with the cronulla crits. However, there's no 40km cronulla crit listed, so the pro races may be invitation only, rather than open events. I don't really like the Coogee or Gosford courses, but then...

The Tour of Bright is one for the climbers (hopefully they can time trial a bit too). This year it's taking place on December 4th and 5th with entries closing November 25th, but with entries capped at 550 they'll probably close earlier. The race consists of 3 stages. Stage 1 is a 100km road stage, w...

I reckon i can give it a shot at some point, but probably not until January at the earliest (have to prepare for Bright after Grafton). I'll also need a bigger gear on my track bike, just have to work out which one.....

What does the current record stand at??

T-Bone

Just found this http://www.graftontoinverellcycleclassic.com.au/uploads/43259/ufiles/Graf-Invl%20Prfl%202010%20v3.pdf Looks like the feeding zones are different to all the times i've done this race in the past. Previously the first feed was at the bottom of the climb, and the second and third were w...

T-Bone

I'd have to check the stock levels for the small (won't be done before wednesday, but probably not until next week). The track is on Bayview Avenue, Tempe (just accross the river from Tempe station). People that will be able to help you with a jersey purchase should be around between 7 and 8:30pm.

T-Bone

Hmm, interesting gradings....

I'll let you know about the feeding once i've thought about it.

T-Bone

Should still be Mediums in stock. I'm going to update stock levels once i've got a bit more spare time to get to the track.

T-Bone

It's just like a feeding zone in the tour. You get your feeder to pass you what you want in the feeding zone as you ride past (can stop if you want, but the bunch won't). It's usually best using a bag, unless you're only grabbing one bottle. The race conditions basically mean, no feeding from cars, ...

T-Bone

Just reading cyclingnews, 212 starters, 93 finishers, and 50 punctures.

T-Bone

Still alive, though we didn't make the distance.... I think approx 90 out of 220 or so finished. Supposedly it was some of the hardest conditions in the races history. Waking Saturday morning to 5 degree temperatures and rain wasn't the most promising, but luckily by the start at 7:30 the rain had s...

T-Bone

Not too much to worry about as we all start in the one giant bunch!!

T-Bone

Well, i've been plonked into C grade, and Alex B grade....

Plus it looks like they've made teams for everyone that didn't make their own, Cyclesport Victoria for me, and City Memorial Bowls Club Warrnambool for Alex!!

T-Bone

I'd go with the Dura-Ace wheels or the RS80's. I believe the main difference with the RS80's is they have ultegra level hubs, but a quick search and they seem to be out of stock in most places (can still order them from chainreaction though).

T-Bone

Ride to katoomba and back

The ride to Katoomba is pretty easy, and back should be extremely easy. I'd suggest finding a hill and riding up it repeatedly for 1hr.

You've got almost 2 weeks. I've got less than 1 week before Warrnambool, and i still have to do the finishing touches to my wheels.

It seems Ricco and Mosquera are also in the doping news at the moment.

I reckon Fuyu Li could have been hard done by as well, considering the small amounts detected. However, in Contador's case there are the results from his other tests during the tour which could help indicate no usage, as it would take a few days at least for the clenbuterol to leave the body, while ...
