did not know this had come out.

Like Howard said, you wount benefit from the narrow wide stuff. You could go cheaper still and buy older second hand Red cranks with a 42 innering for about half the price of the CX1. I even think they would be a tiny bit lighter. Just a suggestion though.
-
Oh, are you runing a tensioner?
-
For SSCX? Why?
-
Slightly different conditions here in Denmark. :)
-
I know what you mean regarding the single speed. In the muddiest races I tend to get a bit sore in the last laps, from the grinding. I forgot to mention that riding on the tops on the straights also lessen the strain on the back and increase weight on the rear for traction.
-
BTW, are there any pictures from the races you guys do?
-
What @Thuekr said. If you can, try riding an easier gear. Typically it gets real bad if you have to grind lap after lap. Core strentgh definitely also come into play here, but you wount gain that from day to day.

The rest of the room is storage. There is a room that can be locked for extra security and additional shelving. Those pics were from when I originally moved in a couple of years ago. Posters, race numbers and broken/worn parts have been hanged up since.
Its still pretty low key but I hope to bring in bigger machinery. Top of the list is a decent lathe. My new years resolution is to start some light composite work but we'll see.Its pretty awesome to have though. Like a small service course.

Could be that to ;)
Its from my workshop.
-
Almost correct. It spells STRØM (electricity in Danish) indicating a powerline in the wall.
-
Gotta admit. It was pretty awesome back then.
-
Upright is the new aero.
-
Get floppin' or get good at changing cogs. Its a 2-4 min job if you decent at it and your chain is long/short enough for both cogs.
-
State Bikes seems decent at the price. Probably not light. Geometry is not the liveliest but some like the higher trail.

Greatest dad award goes to:
I hated hauling my kid around on a cheap 30 lb steel trailer bike, so I built my own. Made entirely of bamboo and carbon, it weighs 9 lbs. This is our primary mode of transportation and it has seen thousands of miles over the past 3 years. No matter if we are heading to school or a 2 hr training ride, my son absolutely loves riding it. It has allowed me raise my him without excluding him from my passion for cycling or compromising my values. It also allows me to demonstrate a lifestyle without dependence on cars. Most importantly, it’s just plain fun.

Boltheads hurt my elbows so I usually use small pieces of tape. Must have given up.
Even then, water doesn't really collect in the frame unless I throw it in a lake.

Pretty happy to be riding SS this weekend.
