kiecker,
thanks for the info. i'll have to get in touch with roger the next time i'm out, which is uncertain. i do have my uci license, but would definitely to hear what he has to say and get a feel for the track and so on. that is a STEEP track. i bet it's soooo fast. i would love to race too.
what gearing is common? low 90's here. last season i ran 48:14, but feel better with my 50:15 this year. you guys do keirins out there?
