    Hour Record Official Discussion Thread

    Great ride by this chap. Forgive me but why is Boardman's 56km record not valid now since that was also down within the current pursuit regs at the time.

    Fake bikes advertised on cyclingnews?

    Looks like a bike to me. Is it merely a paper-cutout?

    Michael Huebner versus Claudio Golinelli 1990 Match Sprint World Championships

    Both wonderful examples of sprint racing. Now sadly sanitised for TV

    Do You Care If Your Favourite Cyclist Is a "Nice Person"??

    I like to like riders. But I also like them to have character - not speal some corporate-speak.

    Tour of Britain 2011- 11th-18th September

    I'm afraid HP lost the plot years ago and should have long retired.

    Vittoria Corsa Evo CX 20mm or Veloflex Corsa 20mm

    Wider are faster - lower rolling resistance.

    Transfers and Rumours 2011 > 2012

    To be quite honest I don't buy this idea that riders have only 10 [or some random number of ] year to make their money for life. Most can and do find other work after stopping racing.

    Yes, I'm not sure this is going to happen.

    Which groupset to buy?

    No one says Miche. Good enough for some pro-teams. I have used some of the track kit- serviceable stuff for the price. And the road kit has carbon cranks now

    Carbon Frames, not always best

    FWIW I feel there is something in this. Sure, riders crashed before but I do think the new frames are so stiff that perhaps this is not helping their cause in many situations.
