i'm thinking about clipless pedals/shoes and a helmet at the bike show. any recommendations?
|
If you can get a good deal at the show I say Catlike helmet, although you should probably just go for what fits your head. That is most important.
Do you want to walk in your cycling shoes? If you don't care/will change into running shoes when you get off of your bike etc. you could get road pedals like Look Keos, Shimano SPD-SL's (a copy of the Looks) or you could buy my Speedplays off of me (road pedals). I didn't like having 20 degrees of float but apparently I'm basically the only person who doesn't think that is the best thing ever... I'm happy with the 4.5 degrees I've got with my Look Keo Sprints. If you do want to walk in your cycling shoes (I'm guessing you probably do) go for the mountain bike shoes that fit you best and get some Time ATAC's mountain bike pedals. When I was at the worlds in Dublin, an overwhelming majority of couriers who rode clipless used these pedals. Don't get Shimano SPD mountain bike pedals. Those things are so easy to unclip from when you least want to. Trust me I've been there. That can be scary/dangerous take it from me! |

Oh man that is beautiful! Nice work! I have experience with a Rolls saddle. Honestly in my opinion it is not as comfortable as a modern saddle. As far as old school saddles, personally i found the Turbo more comfortable. Some people are the other way around. They are very similar, just depends on the shape of your bum I should think. Judging by the setup of your bike in that picture it looks like you like to ride with a good amount of setback (so do I. yay for long femurs!!). If so you may find that the rails on a Rolls are too short. Modern saddles like SLR's etc have the rails biased further back and also the rails are longer so you can mess with your position more. When I had a Rolls I had it all the way back and I still wanted more setback. That was with a 74 degree seat tube, which is probably what you got. Again it depends on your preferences/bike geometry etc. Basically the bottom line is, a Rolls or similar old style saddle may limit your fit options. Looks pretty cool though :D If you are happy with the fit as is, with your current saddle I would just leave it. Looks cool actually!

The cross race was swell today. Just wet enough for good traction and just warm enough for a short sleeve jersey. Wes and I both got 7th in our respective cats. YAY US!! |

Had a blast at my first cross race this morning. I'm definitely looking forward to racing on an actual cross bike rather than a mtb though. Those long, flat, grassy sections were a bit of a slog on fat mtb tires.
But man, what a ridiculous bike pr0n show though. If anyone wants to see stupidly high end rides, come out to the race next weekend. It's just at Bathurst & St. Claire. The 1:00 race was totally insane. I remember off the top of my head there being an Argon-18, a full custom carbon True North, lots of Ridleys, some Empellas, the Cervelo cross bike... oh and the BMC that raced in Master 3 (and K-Fresh totally pwned). Madness I tells you! Oh and the weather? PERFECT. ps. Nerdsgirth: your boy Ryan took 1st in the Senior 3/4 race. Apparently he and Jeremy (aka. Darkmother) had a pretty good race between them! |

I think I need a new bottom bracket on my bike (12 000km). It's a triple, so I know the bb needs to be longer. Any other recommendations/ advice? I figure if I have an idea of what I need and the retail cost I can take a look at the bike show.

im a new fixed gear rider, and was wondering if there are any alleycat type rides coming up any time soon, and if anyone would mind "showing me the ropes" (feels like a nerd for using that saying) that would be awsome
i ride an old norco road bike that i converted (49-16 gearing), atac pedals and red fluffy dice hanging from the handlebars/stem (dont have a car to put them in, and they couldnt go to waste :D ). ps riding fast/far/long isnt a problem, so i wont slow anybody down (unless your all crazy fast) |
