2011 May Weekly Race Series Sundance XC Mountain Bike Race

admin — Sat, 05 May 2012 20:42:13 +0000

This is the unedited video of my race at the Weekly Race Series Sundance XC mountain bike race at Sundance, Utah, on May 25, 2011. We raced the Archies Loop course. My category did 2 laps for a total of about 11.5 miles and about 1430 feet of climbing. Due to some problems with my bike, I got to the starting line a little while after my group had left, so I spent the race catching as many of them as I could. utahmountainbiking.com www.weeklyraceseries.com Filmed by Ian Beaty

this a question about cycllocross and psychology. Im trying to get my mom to try cyclocross she is 40 years old and things she will make a fool of herself and wont be good at it. My whole family races cyclocross and we all love especially me and my dad. How should I convince her try cyclocross?

Why force the woman to do something she doesnt want to do ? I presume she watches you guys at races and sees what is involved……if she doesnt wanna, you must respect that.

cyclocross with toe clips?

Question: cyclocross with toe clips?
Is it okay to ride cross with toe clips? I’ve ridden fixed gear and single speed bikes for quite awhile now and have never used clipless pedals.

Is it okay to use toe clips on a cyclocross bike? Are their any disadvantages?

Answer:

Answer by rhodetryp21
I don’t ride with toe clips, I use clipless and I love them.
I think you need time to get into the toe clips, and from what I understand of cyclocross, then you would probably want something that you can clip into quickly.
If you are comfortable with those and can use them quickly, then stick with what you know.
Pedals like egg beaters are so easy to clip in and out of, that they work faster for the quick transitions in cross racing.

aluminum cyclocross bike?

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 20:39:27 +0000

Question: aluminum cyclocross bike?
I am thinking of buying an aluminum cyclocross bike. I currently ride a Reynolds 853 steel road bike. My concern is the reputation of aluminum having an unforgiving ride. I don’t mind the stiffness, just the vibration. Would the fatter tires (32c) cancel out the high frequency vibrations and take the edge off of the hard thumps? Thanks

Answer:

Answer by M R
Yes bigger tires do help. And if you do buy a carbon fork it will help as well.

Cyclocross Bikes

Cyclocross bikes are made to cover all surfaces (road, sand, grass, mud, snow, etc…). These bikes start with a road bike set-up, but it has nobby tires and greater width in the brake area to handle the mud and surface conditions.
