Portable Rollers? Help my kid?

Hello, Wondering if anyone has a set of travel rollers for warming up on, that could be borrowed or rented for two weeks? My daughter Holly is going to race the Intelligentsia Cup in Chicago next week (10 crits in 10 days) and needs a way of warming up (some race sites have poor road access for warm...

Re: Should the Tripleshot forum be taken private?

I'm so old, I remember when Lister posted here more than Rolf. I love the forum. Yes, it uses tech from the time of dial-up 300 baud modems, but it's so valuable. I hope it lives on. As for private? I don't think it is necessary. I like the idea of people finding the forum, reading along, then decid...

Re: Louise and Jim Wool Jerseys

Thanks Claire and Rolf,

and Jim and Louise. I very much like these. Not surprisingly the jersey looks great on Louise. Much more surprisingly, the kit looks good on Jim too. Huh.

I would be in if others want to get an order going.

Thanks,

Eric

Re: Riley turns pro with Israel Cycling Academy

I firgured Lister would beat me to this! And rightly so. Much of Riley's success is rooted in the work of the TS Youth program, and the FastTrack program on the velodrome. I spoke with Riley about his new team and then wrote the following. Perhaps our new Social Media Team could put something togeth...

Re: Electrician Needed

Likely way too late Peter, but our neighbour Doug is an electrician, and a cyclist, and he installed our EV charger. Really nice dude, and quality work.

Track Bike Sale

For the first time in the history of the Victoria Velodrome, we are cleaning out the bike shed. Well, we've cleaned it before, but now we are getting serious and selling off older bikes that are no longer used. If you like old steel frames (there's a couple of Al frames as well), or you know someone...

Re: Bike Light: LED vs. Halogen

Very hard to convert Watts (power, or energy used per second) to lumens (brightness) due to the fact halogens make more heat, so therefore typically use about 4 times the energy to give the same brightness. Your 40 W system could be giving you 500 to 700 lumens (total guess), and with LEDs you could...

Re: Chain Waxing

Alrighty then...back to the question: I have waxed many a chain. But I have not done so regularly in decades. No time to do it right. There are some neat ways of getting wax onto your chain via a solvent carrier, but nothing beats the time honoured tradition of spending many hours removing your chai...

Greg, if it's not too complex for your imagination, could you do this ride at -1 degrees? You may may need to Euler your chain afterwards.
