Not the Irishman though, shirley?

Yes, spacing for road bikes (like yours) and track bikes (like wot that wheel fits) is different.

You can replace the axle with a longer version a la: http://www.halowheels.com/products/part/HUHATA13

Might be your best bet.

Slack chain.

Looks nice, but needs more discs!

Bb spindle too long?

They do have some options for hydro force on bike24. 170mm cranks + 50T ring for example.

Get out and ride in as much varied terrain as possible (says the man who has only ridden on rollers for his season prep so far). That way you'll get a feel for when it's quicker to run than ride and things like that.

Find some sharp slippery corners and try belting around them. Remember to lean the bike not the rider - you want as much of those side knobs in the dirt as possible.

Dismounts / remounts take a bit of practice. I reckon they are more important on a fast dry course.

Don't worry about bunnyhopping stuff, just do a bit of pulling up on the front wheel to get over roots and ridges.

If you want books on the subject: the Simon Burney book is OK, the Scott Mares is not so great.

Is that your site? I'm not sure whether to congratulate you on collating all that info or shout at you to use your time on the planet more wisely!

I'm very pleased with that. I'll continue to go to boozy weddings before races in the future.

Another quality Powers performance too, I see.

Lots of option for hubs.

Am I right in thinking you can't get the XM tread on a tubeless?

Quality! Thanks for the link.

Thanks all. I didn't expect any problems as they were mounted fine and dandy on my novatecs for the last 6 months.

@Howard @mdcc_tester
Just to confirm then: you think they're not seated properly and lube / impact /pressure might help achieve that?

Rims are sl25s I think.

Maybe. They're holding 80psi though?

Help, I've just mounted my s-ones on new pacenti rims and they're not sitting nice and round. There's a section on both where the tyre seems to be sitting lower? Have I made a basic error?!

.

Agreed, much smoother.

Belgians. Not really a problem here, although I wish I had a pit bitch for the muddier races.

These are good. Force is better.

threshold, unless you got a cold

Skinny finished!

Do not want.

How does the run-in to the finish work? Is the ferry permitted, or do the racers have to travel through Istanbul?
