    Road I.D.

    What an ***. this was only about a guy who was hit and left on the side of the road unconcious and the guy who found him new what the id was and called his wife while he waited 45 min for an ambulance to show up and his wife met the ambulance at the hospital. If you don't want to use road ID...

    Road I.D.

    This weekend my riding buddy was out in the moutians by himself. He remembers trying to figure time to meet his wife then waking up in an ambulance. The guy that found him on the side of the road (hit and run) called 911 then called his wife. He got his number off his road ID on his wrist...

    Power2max power meters..

    If you buy a new P2M it should have the new software on it that is supposed to have fixed the temp fluxuations problem some people were having. If you buy a used one you will have to send it in to get the softwar update.

    How do you get up and cycle in the morning?

    First I would say get more sleep. I get to bed around 8-8:30 get up at 0400 drink coffee and get on the bike at 5 ride for 1.5 normally during the week. Legs don't feel great when first get on. Takes about 20-25 minutes to start to feel really good. Some days I hate doing it but I love it...

    Tubeless Tyres

    I have never had a problem and do not know anybody that has. If you have a regular rim and a regular tire why would it be any different just because there is no tube in it? When you put the rubber strip in there make sure you have the right size and it does not cover up the grove your normal...

    Tubeless Tyres

    If I understand your post you are looking for options of tubeless tires. All my wheels are set up tubeless and ridden that way but I have never owned a tubless tire. So if it was me I would use the tire you normally would on a gravel road.

    Getting the most out of short workouts?

    First the elevation training mask is a bad name. It does not replicate higher elevation. If you suck your lungs full, the ratio of the mixture of oxygen and everything else at that altitude, is the same whether you have the mask on or not, it is just harder to suck it in. It does help build...

    aerodynamic helmets, are they as good as everyone thinks?

    I believe he might have been saying looking down which makes the tail go up into the wind stream, not moving your whole head down.

    Charging for shoe fitting - a new trend??

    I have no problem with that. I buy most of my stuff on line but I would never think to go to a shop to try stuff on and then buy on-line. If I get the wrong size I can send it back or eat the cost. I see it no different then them charging for a bike fit.

    Zipp Firecrest Clincher

    Sounds like the valve stem is hitting the carbon when there is a weight load on it every rotation. I know that happens on tubulars, although I have not heard it on clinchers but I don't own any deep dish clinchers.

    Q rings????

    I know the feeling. I think it was because of the hip abductor at a certian point is just about as far as it can go in contraction (some peopel might call hip angle)unless you reguarly train it. don't know if that is true or not but that is my thoght process. I am trying 172.5 this year for...

    Q rings????

    I have them on mine with that crank length. I have the big ring set on 3 and the small ring on 4. 4 feels odd on the flats warming up I guess because of where you start picking up the power. but I love that setting on the hills.
