I have a bunch of wheels. That set is Zipp 808 Track.

I have 45-51t chainrings with 13-17t cogs. I manage to use all of them in some combination throughout the season (this is not uncommon, BTW).

Trust me, I gota good ride in. Like 20 miles, but I'm not used to riding hills on a fixed gear bike with no brakes with that strong of a gear ratio...I think the muscles right above my kneecaps are torn in half. I was gonna go to the local drome last night after I got off work, but it was pouring outside.

and the joys of taking a day off from work and getting out and having early morning workouts before the sun starts beating down...empty track save for 1 other early morning warrior.

Lookin good!^

chevy42083 06-09-10 08:41 AM

Eh, I'm happy with it for an intro bike. I need a new wheelset, and probably some tires other than gatorskins... but it sees LOTS of miles on the street as is.
And Alkek is the only velodrome I've been to... others just look soooooo flat.

omgmarclol 06-10-10 08:39 AM

you race with eggbeaters? not a good idea.

chevy42083 06-10-10 11:37 AM

Why is that?
No racing... just practice sessions so far. I have them on both bikes, and use mountain and road shoes with them so they fit what i need.
I had wondered if they had too much float and would pull out... but never had an issue (street or track).
But, I'm also a lightweight at ~125lbs... so I'm no powerhouse either.

omgmarclol 06-10-10 02:02 PM

on more than one occasion i've had the misfortune of somebody in the field pull out in front of me in a sprint that was using eggbeaters. very dangerous. the tension, i feel and most people agree, isn't strong enough to safely race or put serious exertion on.

My newest ride. 2010 trek t1 in a 60cm. already swapped out a 140mm bontrager carbon stem since I will also be commuting to work with this. Plan on taking it to the track his summer a lot and upgrading components over time. Hopefully the wheels will hold up with the chicago streets!

The bars are comfortable at that angle when holding on the drops. The picture makes it look more dramatic though.

The point of the stem is that it is longer. Not that it is carbon. Its very strong and shouldnt have any problems.

terrible_one49 06-18-10 01:16 PM

Sorry man, but I don't see why you bought a track bike. Judging by how you have the bars set up, with the huge stack of spacer, upright stem, and the bars tweeked so far up…. you probably would have been more fit on a beach cruiser or other upright, cruising bicycle.
