Your fast twitch fibres will have something like a 15 second duration (varies). To focus the training primarily on these you need to short maximal efforts and then allow a short period of time for them to recover. For example 15 second sprints, 45 seconds rest. Repeat 12 times. A little off topic b...

Sprinters say it is smoother. 50x14 is 96in 51x14 is 98in I'd personally go for the 96in if I was doing a longer endurance event. What is your target cadence? If you had a 14t cog i'd buy the 50t ring and stick with 96in. Not a bad gear for enduro events at DGV. What cogs do you have already? Give m...

130BCD is not so common. 144BCD is most widely used. I used to have some 135BCD (Miche) which are in the ACT with my dad and old bike.

I use DHB for commutes and crits. 1-2hrs max

Nozzle

Assos are my fave "good knicks". Rapha a close second. But for bang for buck the DHB ones from Wiggle are not too bad. For a long ride I always pull out the good knicks. For crits it can be expensive when you hit the deck. Anyone know about decent skin suits? I'm looking for a few spares. ...

I've noticed a trend to go for narrow bars on the track. Idea being reduced frontal area. What is the downside or limitations of going narrow?

Rob, based on my recent trainer session it would be a waste of time competing tomorrow. I'm going to hit up a waterfall ride instead.

I'm thinking of doing B Grade depending on if I shake the remnants of this cold. Would be leaving @ 7.30am to get a decent warm up pre race. Let me know if you are keen.

Gator skins are brilliant commuters but are a bit slick in the wet. I too have had mixed success with GP4000s but have stuck with them. They still offer a good balance between longevity and race performance.

For race tyres I use Schwalbe Ultremo ZX but would not advise for commuting or rough roads.

So I'm a noob to the track and I've been advised that I don't need a lockring. Then someone said I'd be crazy not too. What is the consensus? Pending that, what is a good lockring to use and what tool is best to install/remove them? I have a chain whip, but no specific tool to do this at the moment....

Nozzle

I'm in too. Good luck everyone. I don't really fancy the extra lap but perhaps it will help spread things out. Last year was quite hectic on the run in.

Nozzle

I was in the bike shop today and ponied up and got a torque wrench and the little doodad to tighten the crank cap. All good to go now.

Nozzle

Good point re derailleur height. Is there a good guide to getting the height correct? I've got the old chain so sweet on chain length.

Just checked that URL. That's the bit on the Park BB tool. Didn't realise it was a separate bit.

You need the end of the Park tool BB tool to attach the crank cap to remove the side to side play. Then Allen key to tighten the non drive side crank to the spindle.

Sorry noel, only just saw the message .

Did you get out?

Nope. Opted for a sleep in and a ride with the wife. Still carrying an injury that I'm going to rest for a bit.

Nozzle

Yep. I'm somewhat keen. Will aim to be there for 6am

Nozzle

I'm a maybe for Sunday. Really depends on how I bounce back from 3 Peaks.

Nozzle

I have one long smooth roller and one that looks like a meat tenderiser. The smooth one is good for rolling out tendons and the rough one is good for a bit of a massage (or torture). Then a tennis ball is probably cheapest an good to start out on. Move up to a cricket ball (or rolling pin)

Nozzle

I'm interested too. Will depend on leave pass etc.

Unfortunately I'm pulling out as I have to make an unexpected trip to Bathurst today.

Have a good (wet) ride without me.
