Just a heads up... entries close in 3 days...

G

Where's Anthony Pham and Nathan? They may be interested in TTT?!
Anyone has Nathan's contact?

G

Geoff, do you know who was taking photos at the hill?

G

Thanks for cheering vic! Don't know how you monitor your blo0d sugar levels, but I guess a couple of gels before the race may sort out your worries?!

G

I am doing the 50km individual TT at Calga next Sundee. I know Mark is keen. Who else is going?

Also, does anyone have a spare seat for me and my bike in their car?

G

I can't do Tue, and Thu mornings. Available other days but would like to have finished with it by 8am the latest.

G

G'day people! Just wondering if anyone would be keen for a team time trial. Specifically the 80km elite men TTT. http://www.nsw.cycling.org.au/cy_nsw/races/?f=2010/10150/10150.htm Also, can someone please clarify wot does the following rules mean: e) A minimum of three (3) Club teams for each Champi...

G

ok, when's the next c0ol road race?

G

Epic race and great weather. Good work by DHBC riders, especially Amy who was the 2nd female home. Well done to all those who raced. Thanks Geoff M for suggesting about this road race. Oh... and Fush and Chops at the Waterfall after the race is already a tradition. oh... and we saw some bunches ridi...

G

When the stupid dog nearly crashed the bunch, some cyclist yelled "keep it tied to the lead"
a couple of kids yelled back "we don't have any!" I just laughed!

G · Re: Le Parc Heffron 15.5.10 lol.... @dog!

lol.... @dog!

G

Shrubb face!
That's c0ol!

G

That makes sense! How do I know where I is starting?!

G

My Handicap will be about 10 minutes off limit, those faster than me will be further back and those slower than me will be in 5 minutes off limit and limit.

Wot does this mean?!

G

Just wanted to share that our club was praised by triathletes on Transitions forum. Well done Geoff et al

http://forums.transitions.org.au/index. ... opic=43145

G

Othy, you should have asked if it can be transferred to any DHBC rider who wanted to do it... I got a late entry due to someone cancel it.

G

I stand corrected Vic, for some reason I thought it was on the second last weekend of May?!

G

We are less than two weeks away from the race. I think rather than going for an individual race, we can work together as DHBC team(s) and lead our best sprinters to the finish line to bring home some podium finishes. To get started, let's find out who is competing in which handicap grade. Since this...

G

Oh just saw this topic. Does the bike need to comply UCI regulations particularly that the seat nose must be at least 5cm behind bb?

And this is how the car looks like:

G

Who are you Stretch?!

G

You mean you actually survived the after-party on Saturday night ?

Stretch
How do you know I was partying?!

G

This is to announce that three of the DHBC riders are officially competing in the Ironman Western Australia, Busselton, WA, 5 Dec 2010. This could possibly be the biggest representation of DHBC at a single Ironman event.

Their names will be announced s0on

G

How do we get there?!

I was told that there are time trials every weekend somewhere around Sydney. Can anyone help me with the website/info?

Thanks in advance.

G

Here's it in action during Ironman Australia

G

O ye ye, really happy with the bike. It is stiff as, and flies uphill. The 180 time trial during the ironman oz was a breeze!

Thanks to everyone for their valuable inputs without which I would have never been able to build it.

G

Yes well, we can only be thankful that is hasn't yet come to this ..... http://www.getoutdoors.com/goblog/uploads/tour_mankini.jpg You are oh soo0 wrong Stuart! Look at this shot from Ironman Australia :) http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs405.snc3/24552_428778383857_560763857_5473384_23...

G

Good on ya Adrian!
Do you have to finish one of each 200, 300, 400, 600k rides before certain date to qualify?

G

We are in Australia and the culture, environment and facilities are completely different b/n the two places. Otherwise we can also claim that the use of platform pedals is also associated with the same outcome. Should we bin our clipless? you mean the platform pedals are more dangerous than clipon?

G

Needs a black bottle cage. Other then that it looks hot.

This titanium cage was 10g lighter than the light carbon cages... but I guess it does look a bit out of theme.

G

Looks like something out of Mad Max (this is a GOOD thing). Does it make a lot of noise?

Not a lot of noise... the wheels are only 50mm deep - which is perfect for windy time trial, as I am a very light bloke

G

Very nice.
but surely you could have found some hot pink bar tape somewhere

Hi Terry
Sure I bought a pink bar tape, but it was baby pink, and wot I was looking for was hot pink. then I found these hot gold bar tapes, and hence went with them

G

G - The bike looks totally hot but is that an unpadded carbon saddle? and you're going to ride how far on it in speedo's ??!!

180k

It's actually a pretty comfy saddle!

G

The problem is that the results are so bad, thatits not worth the risk of any one getting them :S I agree,... I would normally wear a helmet. It has saved my coconut twice! but I wouldn't normally ride a cruiser bike on the footpath to go just 2km to see my witch doctor. I don't think you really ne...

G, Have you taken it for a good ride yet. If so how did it go? It looks awsome. Well done. Yes, peter, took it for a spin yesterday. It feels quite efficient.

Thank you everyone for your valuable inputs. The time trial bike is ready just in time for the Ironman (less than 2 weeks to go!). Here's how it finally looks:

Is the optional 200k loop same as last Saturday?

G

Was a cool ride... was knackered! Peter and I went for a run after the ride. Despite Peter's ankle injury, he was flying, while I was struggling to keep a 5min/km pace. Like some triathletes would put it, it was as painful as delivering a rhino baby. I don't know how I am going to run a bloody marat...

G

haa haa! Classic!

And the monkey bikes for those who are scared of heights?

G

A smaller frame will give even more drop and less weight. That's how some pros do it. But you better have a very flexible back.

to have greater drop on a small frame, they will need longer seat post iniit? Doesnt that affect frame's rigidity?

G

Clearly that's a different style of fit, one that permits a greater degree of drop for the rider. Well, I think all TT bikes allow massive drops, so that size guide should apply to all the TT fits. Are they 650 wheels? Do they use smaller frames because small = less drag? Wot would be the disadvant...

G

Peter, I am waiting for you to email your address. Also, wot's wrong with your phone?!!

G

http://coimbracyclehouse.co.za/bike-size-guide.html

Looked at this sizing chart, normally you would expect 180 cm rider to be on a 55-56cm frame. But Crowie uses a 51?! Wot's the deal here?

G

Just curious, crowie is 180cm tall, why would he ride a 51cm frame? Isn't it a bit too small for him?

G

Hi Peter,
Glad you can come along. Whats this about shoes???

Shoes for a 25km mad run after the Saturday ride. Would you join us?

G

Peter, I am thinking of a couple of hours run after the ride at the big park near the finish line. It will be motivating for me if you also join for the run?!

G

Yes all good at Huskie. Had to pull out of the Token 12hr this weekend so I'm looking at this ride as a replacement but all these safety things have got me buggered, are up for two sets of lights. Naa mate, Gary said no dramas if you enter in the lower max time option. You don't even need reflectiv...

G

Just spoke to Gary from Audax. He said it is a budgie smuggler friendly ride. So come wearing colourful budgie smugglers. Wot colour are you wearing Adrian?

G

What about the double lights front and back (4 in all) how strick are they on this ?

Peter I thought you were dead! You never pick up the phone. How was husky? I heard you rode to husky on saturday and then hammered the long course on Sunday? You must be ready for the big day at Port.

G

Registered for this race:
200km Distance 12h30 Opt Max Time - Member (Audax or CA): $5.00

How strict is the requirement of reflective clothing? I don't have anything more reflective than budgie smugglers really.

G

A few showers should be ok http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/nsw/forecasts/sydney.shtml The last time I did an Audax 200 ride it too around 8 hrs. G - in terms of getting there, I'd be riding to Hornsby from Lane Cove. I'd suggest getting the first Newcastle Express. You could also drive. Parking isn't...

Which one of these I am supposed to enter? I am CA member.

G

If it is going to rain, would they allow budgie smugglers?

How does these races work? Do people ride in bunches or break away/fall behind and go for individual tt? How many people ride? Are there any serious climbs in the race?

G

Sounds fun. Let's hammer it! Also, I like that there's a park near the finish. If I run bare foot in it for couple of hours, it will make an excellent brick session. How do you plan on getting there? By train? At wot time would you leave to reach hornsby by 6:30? pm me your mobile and we can organis...

handsome cows? Do you mean beautiful?

G

Thanks Weiyun

The frame manufacturer responded that T726R fits the frame. This is one strange looking brake, with center pull cable exit!! Seen anything like it? Any ideas where I can get it from?

http://www.tektro.com/02products/12qb.php

G

The Oval A700 rear brake is able to be mounted under the chain stays on some frames, but it has the cable exit on the left. I'm thinking it just could be a narrower brake, you'd need to find one locally to see if it fits. Its a similar shape to the T925 rear. Thanks Christian I will give a bell to ...

G

The rear brake cable comes out in the middle of the front tube. It is visible in the photo at the far right. I have put the rival brake for size comparison. It fouls the chainring. http://images.orkut.com/orkut/photos/OgAAAGsOAFqfY5Jf9NyjQOdES7NOku-CDnx8K23LQR7l3Fxr963z1mlglmPPc7p1kHWLWujsGjTJf9hlh9...

G

There's no telling which side it'll go in the tech drawing. Further, chainring is usually on the right side. :roll: I meant, looking at the brake when installing at the bottom of the frame (bike upside down), if the noodle is on the left, then it will be on the chainring side. Are these brakes comm...

G

From the images, it looks like the noodle will come to the left, and that's the chain ring side

Why would they design the noodle on the left?!

G

This is the frame spec:

I think these brakes will fit iniit
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Tektr ... 360040373/

Clearly many of these setups are specialised/custom designs, without accepted common standards.

Yea, wouldnt be hard for him to keep up. Wot are you bringing Hugo? A mountain bike?

On Saturday, let us cycling enthusiasts dust off our vintage frames, mountain bikes or wotever is sitting in our garage that is not a standard road bike. Come and take it for a spin with other cycling enthusiasts. I am bringing a beach cruiser. What are you bringing?

G

We have a few serious bike collectors who have new/ old, simple/ strange bikes. How about bringing them for ride this Saturday slowies? I will start a new thread.

G

Monkey bike
Delivery bike
Hobby horse

Then there are ones used for different purposes
- mowing the lawns
- power generation, particularly the one where the TV doesn't work unless you ride
- paddle bike

Forgot the beach cruisers? The mother of modern V-twin choppers?

G

Did you contact the frame manufacturer to see what spec they used for the BB?

Yes, English thread.

G

The "golden spacer/cardridge" is what FSA refers to as the "middle spacer". There should also be another "center sleeve" [sic.] inside it. These parts are there to stop crud inside the frame from getting onto the spindle, and to ensure that the bearings are not over-ti...
