Yes that's the calc its based on. I don't know how it works but it does. I doubt that its affected much by the steady but small improvements over the years.

If we all depart home at 6.30 we will arrive around the same time, then they will allocate us similar timeslot. First rider is 8am and last rider is 10am. I'm guessing we will be allocated 9, it will depend on how many riders turn up before us

Saw Eleri parking quite close to Philip's studio in Marrickville during the week, I'm wondering if she did a photo shoot?

Re: 2015 State Team Time Trial championships - 18 July

We don't need accommodation for the TTT, it starts late enough to drive down prior.

Most stay for the road race on the Sunday and stay overnight for that, but even that can be driven to on Sunday if your super keen to spend Saturday night at home

Dual lights also give you more size, you look more like an object rather than a single point of light

Re: Water in my fixie

A long time ago when waist hugging white jeans were in fashion there use to be a small hole under the bottom bracket for it to drain out. As you have probably tried all the obvious solutions, I'm going to guess that the best option would be to create a hole in the frame to allow the water to run out...

If you want to go cheap Marc? The lifeline branded ones are $50 or less at wiggle.
This one? $85 with sockets

Re: Which torque wrench - 1/2 or 3/8 inch?

The amount of torque applied is not going to be a consideration so you don't need to worry about the head size unless you want it to be the same as your existing socket set. The torque range should go as low as 4nm My set is 1/4" and to be honest I had to go and look at it to know that, the hea...

You need to buy one that's specific to cycling. The ones at bunnings etc don't have the precision to work with CF

Re: How to be Seen at Night

Unfortunately some will not see you unless there is a need to be seen. The brain is designed to see what you need (aka the hunter and gatherer) and see what will kill you, aka the lion, which nowadays is a 1,000Kg+ metal object heading towards you. A casual glance isn't going to see something that d...

Re: Time Trialling 2015

There was a communication that confused a few and they have since put out a clearer communication. Entries are allowed on the day, if you want to reserve a time slot, you need to pre-enter.

There are 18 pre-entries for tomorrow. Somehow I suspect there won't be a huge queue tomorrow.
