you can use your own bike but it must be a proper track bike see below: -
Track bikes must have a fixed wheel, 165mm cranks, and 280mm (11”) bottom bracket height (measured from floor to centre of bottom bracket), no braze ons, and must have track ends. Coaches must advise riders to check their own bikes before taking to the track, including: tyres, chain tension, wheel nuts. If a “fixie” bike is used, that matches the measurements above, and has braze ons or cast cable or gear stops, they must be padded with foam and taped over with insulating tape.
Use Continental, Schwalbe, Tufo or Vittoria clinchers or tubulars (black tread only), 23 mm wide. Tyres must be inflated to 8 bar (119psi), and the pressures, and tyre condition checked regularly. Do not use Michelin tyres or any dual compound tyres or tyres with coloured treads. Other tyres and tubulars may in future be recommended after analysis. Do not use tub tape to fix tubulars to sprint rims – use proprietary rim cement.
Do not use brand new tyres on the track without first preparing them thus; rub the surface with alcohol or white vinegar or other degreaser before use. Ride the first three laps on the Cote d’Azure or bottom of track.
No spare sprocket on double rear hub.
Bar ends must be fitted, and secure in handlebars.
No quick release spindles. Wheel spindles should not extend beyond the track nuts, front and rear, and should be sawn off flush with the nut, and filed smooth.
Recommended gears for novices, and all riders on taster sessions - 84” gear adults, 74” for 9 -12 year olds.
The gearing on Velodrome hire bikes range from 72.6” (44 x 15) to 83.9” (50 x 16).
Gearing for all endurance SQT’s, including Madison and Derny, shall be restricted to 88”. The only exception is the “A” SQT, where it is unlikely that there are any Velodrome bikes (84” gears) used on this session. It does not apply to Sprint or Sprint/Keirin SQT’s. However, youth accredited riders should ride a gear as per the relevant Youth category gearing in BC Technical Regulations, or lower – see table.
They do hire bikes and shoes (included in cost I think), you might wanna give them a ring to check on size availability. 0161 223 2244.
