i'm new - and have a ton of questions ...bear with / indulge if possible :)

i ride 175mm cranks on the road - what crank length should i ride on the track?
what principals govern tyre pressure on the track?
can i swap over my bike fit measurements from the road...track specific bars seem so much deeper..body geo must be different on the track..right?
how significant is weight when in comes to component choice as compared to road cycling?

On bike positioning, track events are short and intense, so you spend a whole race in the drops, something that rarely happens on a road ride. It might feel a bit odd to begin with, but it soon feels normal.

Anyway, half the time you are hurting so much everywhere else that any positioning discomfort is a distant second.

So if you wear Rapha, do you suffer more or less?
