  • Back to the thread topic, I actually got some photos from one of the photographers at the track that day, nice to see photos of yourself, but mostly because I like to analyse my position!

    Pretty happy with my best impression of a bunched up ball here. Second pic I could probably tuck my elbows in a bit more, but overall seem like I have a much better more aero position than before.

    Also in other news, I have officially been promoted to Cat B.

  • There were lots of claims of sandbagging on Saturday, which I would take as a compliment!

    B category for Wednesdays too or just Vets League for now?

    PS tubeless tyres are fine at HHV, plenty of coaches use them or have put sealant into a tub to repair it. Those Veloflex are the perfect HHV summer tyre IMO.
    Funny how pros are allowed to ride tubeless tyres at indoor velodrome whereas mere mortals can't...

  • Haha really? Was that in particular aimed at me? I was actually coming second overall by round 2 in any case. Although admittedly it probably would have been a bit of a change from the last round to see I had completely changed my whole bike, outfit and setup in the space of one month.

    I assume it's for Vets League as I haven't raced Wed ESG Track league before, although I think I have more confidence to give it a go. May give it a go in the C's and see how it is as I'm not sure how much of a difference there is with Vets C.

    I actually got a response from HHV about tubeless and they said they had no specific policy, but also stated that there was no real benefit.
    I guess they don't have a membership to https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com 😉
