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. Yes should be light. You are right, Ul...

It is the Antares. I had it on a loaner bike in the USA and liked it. Little wider and shorter then the Arione which I have on several bikes. Thought I'd try something new, I can always go back to an Arione if I hate it after getting some extended time to ride it. Thanks for the BB tool loan (again).

Parlee?

No, not even race wheels. I'll keep the colnago for crits. All the pieces are here, going to build it this week.

othy

It was windy and we all got dropped. The end.

othy

Do you know what it was worth new? I'd be asking why the fork was changed, the slice forks were pretty good, maybe it was crashed bad enough to crack the fork. The missing teeth just means new chain rings, chains and cassettes wear out anyway, as do chain rings. The missing teeth doesn't mean the c...

I should be there tonight.

What does this mean for entering into Cycling Australia sanctioned events.

Do you need a helmet with the sticker complying with the new standard? Can you keep using your old one in these events??

You can still use your old helmet for CA events.

I heard that they actually have a year to sell them... Any bike shop workers who can confirm/deny?

I think its that they 'had a year'. And that time is up come December.

othy

As Othy mentioned in the other thread anytime you ride on these wheel you will need the carbon brakes installed. If you do puncture and have to ride with an alloy wheel, you will have to sand the carbon pads a bit before you can use them on your carbon wheels again. These are looking pretty temptin...

I've read that the Zipp rims are designed for a 23mm tyre. You can run narrower but apparently some aero benefits are lost. You'll also need some glue - possibly two tubes for each wheel depending on how much residue is currently on them. That said here are my opinions - Vittoria Evo Corsa CX. This ...

othy

Damn. What happened?

Those Planet-X titanium frames don't have replaceable hangers, hopefully it can be repaired.

othy

Great report.

othy

I will be too scared to use these on the bike every day, possibly pull them out 4 times a year when I have an important event but that's about it. I have always wanted to know what it feels like to ride them though. I figured they were a good deal so it's best to snap them up, and I would never thi...

othy

The valve extender on the Zipp front wheel could almost be another spoke....

Enjoy Jo, tubulars are sweet.

othy

What time?

6pm race starts. Sign on from about 5:15pm I think.

Stuarts been nice enough to give me a leave pass and we negotiated that I can come back from the Mountains on Sunday for this. Wooohooo.

I should be able to make it. Haven't done much riding in the last month, but its only 3 laps so I should be alright. 13+ second group?

How do we move Denny's Canada to Marrickville???

I'm in the USA at the moment and there is a Denny's across from work. You don't want it coming to Australia. Trust me.

othy

From what I remember If you were injured then you are required to report it, as the police info will be needed by you for the MAA claim (CTP insurance of the driver). See the MAA Accident Notification form for more info: http://www.maa.nsw.gov.au/default.aspx?MenuID=122 Uninjured, with minor damage ...

On a side note Toff, I climbed then descended Page Mill Road (2400ft over 7.5 miles) here in the US last weekend on a 800 gram frameset. It was awesome up and down.

When you have hundreds of spare mavic disc wheels at the worlds, you're bound to find some other uses for them:

I have to withdraw. Looks like I'm missing it again this year.

othy

If you were injured an made a claim with the MTA then the insurance company should probably have given you a copy of the police report as part of the process. Thats how I got mine. Getting the police report otherwise looked like trouble + time consuming without insurance involved. I think it is wort...

Go all out with the colours and see how many you can get on the bike..

Red wheels like orphics, white saddle, pink grips....

I'm okay thanks all. Was operated on last night and released a little while ago. I'm plated up and reasonably pain-free considering.

Good to hear you are okay and out of hospital. Hope the shoulder heals up cleanly and quickly.

I'm a bit confused. I thought I'd be in D Grade as I haven't officially raced before. How do you know what the grades are?

I hope you've at least been out to Heffron?? Or one of the other crits...

Perhaps I'll leave the race wheels at home for this one....

othy

What time are people riding out from Mick Mazzas?

othy

Last week there was talk of going to a Pub for dinner / drinks after racing instead of Oportos. The place discussed was called "The Three Swallows" and is on Liverpool road heading back into the city. Here is the info if we decide to go there - http://maps.google.com.au/maps/place?um=1&...

othy

Course info looks the same as last year (ie. downhill finish). Still undecided until Sunday morning. Big DHBC turnout in C grade though.

othy

What's involved in going up a division? Do I just sign up there Friday?

Yes, just ask when you sign on.

othy

Great photos. You really did capture the point at which I died and the Manly rider hammered passed.

othy

Only the second time I've been out to Heffron Park this year, I lined up in B grade. One other Dulwich Hill member attended, Ian, who also rode B. Headwind through the back part of the course kept things interesting. Pace was very on and off. I don't know why people bother attacking in the straight ...

Actually, looking back at my distances from the team time trial. The distance for Tim is actually 36.5km. Therefore, Tims Average is 33.848km/hr.

So, i declare a Tie!! Perfect handicapping choice with the 3km/hr difference.

My garmin says 36.5km too.

Theoretically, yes. I think I just comply although my knees can hit my bars when I'm out of the saddle. You can get five centimetres dispensation for special circumstances e.g. you're a 6 foot 5 freak riding a 61cm frame. I'm relying on that dispensation if my measurements are out. From memory your...

Ok, so I've just been reading about this 75cm from BB to end of bars?

Is this applicable?

Aero bars are installed, saddle changed, one of my bottle cages removed.

Gloves or not? Where is the best point in...

My aero bars arrived today, hopefully get some time on them before Sunday. Have the start times been reorganised by handicap?

yeah i picked up on crafty's sublteness. Subtlety is not one of my strong points. That's a good story. It reminds me of a girlfriend i had once. Our dog went missing and she blamed me because I hadn't mended the fence. I went looking for it every chance I got, but couldn't find it. In the meantime ...

othy

I'll take them - do they come with skewers?

Might not be able to pickup until the weekend though.

I'll message you.

That must be a mistake - Chidgey was in Div3 on Friday night.

I'll be there. Haven't been on a bike for 6 weeks, may need to have a bucket ready on the sidelines for me.

othy

No riding on the track in the rain - it is usually an indoor roller session. Depending on the turnout (generally only the dedicated few when raining) there are limited rollers and trainers available, so bring your own if you have them.

Used my gilet this morning - works great. Thanks again to all involved for organising another successful clothing order.

In california again - really need a bike out here, lots of cyclists.

So how was it? Went well for me - finished with the winning bunch on both days (at the back, staying out of trouble). Day 1. Great weather for racing, my group worked well together. 3 riders came past quickly at about the 30km mark and I was the only one to jump on them. Stayed with them for about ...

Thanks, I'll get the full racing license organised tomorrow.

Not sure if its available yet, but you may save yourself a considerable amount waiting for the 6 month race license.

James, What is the name & number of the pub we are staying at?

Shrubb, I'm willing to meet at Maccas, just give me a time (and the correct location) - I'm probably not the best to work it out. We were there for breakfast last time so it must have been around 10am?

KEEP IT PINK!!!

I agree. Surely there is way to make it look ironic...

Well finished my first commute on the 'new' bike. I found it surprisingly enjoyable, as I would consider myself someone who enjoys road more than track, and using the appropriate gears for the situation. Anzac bridge and Lilyfield Rd weren't an issue on 81 inches - I thought it would be harder but m...

othy

48x16 = 81 inches. Didn't cause me too much of an issue going up hill or starting, I could just do with a bit more spin in my day.

othy

Sorry, I have no room as I don't have any racks for my car yet and my wife is coming.

What time are people leaving on Saturday? Want to meet at the Maccas (Yass?) on the way?

othy

First commute in on it. Gearing felt a bit big at 48x16, might need a 17 for the back. Could just require a few rides to get used to though.

Finally got myself organised enough to get to an early Randwick Bontany CC ride. Arrived way to early and did a couple of laps of the park. Saw Vic ride past, then Mark and Jo a bit later.
