Well, I thought I'd finally post some info on my cross rig for this season. I'm still working out a few bugs... but it is performing well overall. I initially had a Salsa 38T inner ring.... but that proved to not be happy with the 10speed Campy chain..... so I am awaiting a new 10 speed FSA inner ring. I had to race this weekend with a leftover 34T inner. That wasn't so bad, but I dropped my friggin' chain twice going over bumps because of the chain being a little too long (since it was setup to use the larger 38T ring.... and I wasn't going to shorten the chain for the 3 days it was gonna take to get a new ring in). But, then I broke a cleat and had to ride the rest of the race like that..... so the chain problems were the least of my concerns :)

Anyhow... on with the bike build.

I also have a set of Conti Twister clinchers on an spare set of road wheels for training and such.

A lot of the parts I had laying around.... but I am still pleased with how the bike turned out. I'll throw some pics up tonight after I get home from work.

Where did you get the wheelset at?

Wheels came from Mike Garcia at www.oddsandendos.com.

He is terrible abotu answering email.... but give him a call and he will talk your ear off. He does about any kind of build you can imagine.... not just what is on his site. I've got 4 wheelsets from him and they are all holding up perfectly. Plus, his prices are great.
