anyone recommend or hv experience with any cyclocross camps/training schools or place?

Looking to get into this sport since is Fall

Depending on how the headtube is attached to the rest of the frame, a long head tube can still result in a low handlebar height, so the headtube length measurement doesn't tell you a whole lot comparing different manufacturers unfortuneately. However most manufacturers geometry differ only slightly in each area (assuming similar category of frame) which contributes to its overall unique ride qualities, so while the headtube on the new frame may be 20mm longer, the actual difference may not be as large.

Cx season has already started

Speed theory's learn to cx was done few weeks ago.

Check Cycling BC: the home of racing for road, bmx, mountain bike, cross country, downhill, track raing, & cyclo-coss for more info

Does anybody have an extra front brake caliper? Shimano 105 level and up, or SRAM Apex level and up. Don't need pads

The Cervelo needs the longer front brake mounting bolt to mount up the rear brake, and I haven't found any place sells just the mounting bolt so I can retrofit my current brake.

Friend did the New Brighton CX race and said it was intense and painful haha

Strava has a new route builder similar.to what Garmin has. Its suppose to pull data from other Strava riders to give you the best route or something. I'm at work so I haven't had time to play around with it.

Budget bike got a tune up today.

New chain, and new tires/tubes. Not sure if the setup is tacky, or just awesome but it is a claimed 1/2lb lighter now with the new setup. Hopefully see a difference tomorrow on my last ride prior to Haleakala.

Cheaper Vittoria Zaffiro Pro's/Vittoria lightweight tubes and a New 105 chain.

i saw that but I just saw the cost to get a BC cycling license.. it was like $100??!? :suspicious:

Not sure what it is with my phone/computer, but they are upright on my computer and sideways when posted... oh well. ha

Nice good luck on your epic ride!

It's a rough time to be selling right now if you're hoping to get decent returns, off season is when the bargain hunters come out and lowball while the buyers who would pay fair value are usually caught up in winter activities. Great time to buy though :)

And the scammers are out year round lol

dat run on...:rukidding:

The next 'Paypal' scammer that emails me I'm gonna have him send me funds and then I'm going to ignore them lol
