Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

Did my first TT last night at Olympic velo park, can see how this could get addictive, already thinking about faster courses and where I should of pushed harder!

23:26 so was reasonably pleased with that

Got a Team TT in a few weeks that should be fun

Good time for your first ride, well done.

Doing the National 50 on fixed this year I should hope earned me enough brownie points to last until 2020.

I was going to do the 25 but I wasn't on it that weekend so had to bail Levens and the Nationals the day later. Will be doing National HC on fixed as I have done in the past!

Next years National 10 is on the K41/10 which is perfect fixed. I'm running the Midland Championships on there a couple of weeks before and will probably have a fastest on fixed prize ;)

K41/10

Ah yeah, I've ridden that before. Shame I'm not Midlands based anymore but should be able to make it.

Screw this long stuff. I'm doing 25s from now on.
I wonder what I could do if I actually trained for them?

My eyes seem to think that's a vague FSA logo across the face? No?

I can't find anything about it. Where'd the pic come from?

It does indeed.

FSA's judging by the writing!

"FSA's new direct-mount calliper sports a slick outer shape James Huang / Immediate Media"

Keep up, Ed :P

From this busted gallery http://www.bikeradar.com/road/news/article/eurobike-2014-viva-italia-42231/

Hmm, wonder if they'll make a regular mount version.

Anyway, likely to be hard to find and no reason they'd be any better than what I have.
Also, if they're the same as Shimano Direct-Mount, they won't fit on the Shiv posts.

They are FSA. New at Eurobike. Pretty sure they're cable, not hydro as driven by regular campy levers and can see a crimped cable end on among the rear brake as shown in BR gallery.

Keep up, Matt101 :P

I think they're FSA brakes. Direct-Mount by the look of them. At Eurobike.

Yeah yeah. Some of us craft our posts. I'm an artisan.

Buy a pair of Maguras and trim the bolt. Sell as a pair of rears on Slowtwitch to someone else with a Shiv if you don't like them.

Force = mass x deceleration so alternatively you could brake lighter, earlier and for longer each time (reduced deceleration) or reduce your mass....... :P

brake ... earlier

Bro, do you even race?

@Matt101

or reduce your mass

Bro, do you even @Hippy ?

Apart from this being a race bike for like, going fast on, none of those options cater for things like emergency stops. As for mass - you've not been around here long have you? #hippyisfat

Long time lurker. Just messing.

26:02 on MG tonight, my best since getting old. axpayne was also shaking down his 43/16 set up ready for next week and beat me by half a minute, so it looks likely to be a medal but no trophy for me for the 5th consecutive year.

What was the weather like? I was going to come but my skinsuit hadn't been washed.
