    Aerodynamic Position - Not Important?

    Early reports were that Zabriskie went to the ToC with great form shooting for the top spot on the podium...

    Aerodynamic Position - Not Important?

    I read somewhere the Floyd's position is very much like the CH skier's position. He's using his arms to shield his chest.

    2006 TdF winner??

    Based on the past two tours the top contenders are obviously Jan Ulrich and Ivan BAsso. It will be fun to watch.

    Crank selection?

    Many people run DA rear ders... It's unlikely you know anyone who runs DA front ders. I only know of a few XC frame manufaturers who use bottom pull front der's on their frames. Scott comes to mind but that's a 3-4000$ frame and people use campy record front ders over dura ace.

    Ok 'Cross Monkies, ideas on a build

    The idea is that you only use the tubular wheelset during a CX race. You would get another wheelset for regular riding. I currently have 2 cross racing wheelsets ( 1 tubular with tufo's, 1 clincher with muds) and another wheelset I use for when I ride/commute with one of my 'cross bikes. I'm...

    Ok 'Cross Monkies, ideas on a build

    I've got two cross bikes. One with my old dura ace 9 and one with new ultegra 10. The new ultegra 10 is amazing. I don't even want to ride my dura ace 9 after using my new cross bike. If you've already got ultegra 9 then I would suggest that you use that. I will work well. IF you've got the...

    I'm Moving to the North West

    We typically get 1-2 snow days in town per year. On a bad year we might get 1-2 weeks of snow in town. Outside of town and up on the hills there will be snow during the winter. Yeah galbraith is pretty much XC. I've been riding XC up there since '98 but slowly every year the dh guys have been...

    I'm Moving to the North West

    definately portland oregon outskirts. Bellingham pretty much sucks and you will kill yourself after you first 100 straight days of rain. If you do choose bellingham then you will be doomed to work a crappy dead end job where you have to grow pot in your attic to make it.

    Attention: Hardcore XC Mountain Bike Racers

    The BUDU series looks like fun. Several WWU riders did some of that series last year. it was typcial SST XC racing in horrible weather. I hope to have my new XC bike ready to rock within a couple of months and I will definately do the first budu race. I won't do the others as I will be road...

    Resale on road bikes?

    In my experience, you get more money if you part it out on ebay (assuming it has good parts, I am not familiar with the bike you have). IT takes more work but it's worth it in the end. I know of people who actually buy new bikes and just turn around and part them out on ebay for profit....

    vintage XTR value ?

    In my experience, and that of many others, you can make much more money parting out a complete bike than selling it complete. However, it's a lot more work. I would like to buy the XTR cantilever brakes. They go on ebay anywhere from 40-75$ for a set depending on condition and time of year...

    Winthrop CX/XC Races this weekend

    I just parted out my road and XC bikes on Ebay... All I have is my cyclocross bike and a brand new roadie being shipped (dura ace 10!!!)... I'm not sure what I'm going to do about an XC bike for next year... I really want to build up a Giant XTC but doubt I'll have that kind of money. But...

    Star Crossed

    Hey, Keith. Actually, those are not complete results. They are pretty much just top 20 or top something as each category was huge. I skipped this race in the hope that my legs would be fresher for sunday's ECC #2. I went to starcrossed and just watched. There was some exciting racing! I...
