Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

I don't think these will fit. Also, this is just for spare bike at the moment. Anyway, who's even heard of team Sky? If they were any good they'd have been in that Tour 'round France.

Your Googlefu may be better than mine, but I can't find the pad holders (not the ones shown) available separately. Winstanleys allegedly have the clips and pads available for £67.49. I can measure the screw spacing on the pads if danb's ruler isn't working.

Yeah over here it's basically the Clips with or without extensions for £100 or £70.

Zipp do provide just the base plate though:

Still happy with my Ventus :-)

NB, the Ventus drag includes brake levers, none of the others do.

I don't want it to be faster - it's just a training bike. I want it to be more comfortable.

Was reported that he'd done 301, now down to 299.

A quality ride - 51x14 from the TT forum. Love to see a TT champs won on fixed:

First half was pretty quick. I imagine he got dope tested again, he's implied on the forum that he suspects someone's reported him for doing drugs given his results so far this year.

Does UCI minimum weight apply to TT bikes?

Only in UCI events.

So the regs don't cascade down UCI -> BC -> CTT?

Cascade? Pfft CTT is the pinnacle for starters. What org in their right mind, who knew anything about cycling would force flat saddle angles? Exactly.

Do assuming National Championships are both CTT and BC events, does a single rulebook apply or some combination of both?

BC National Champs are run under UCI rules I think.

CTT National Champs have their own rules.

That's why Bottrill needed a special bike for the British TT Champs - it had to be UCI legal and why I can race a UCI-illegal 'triathlon' bike to win the National 24hr.

Bottril has been riding in a UCI legal position all year but changed to a smaller frame before BC champs which meant that his extensions had too much stack from the base bar to be UCI illegal, hence riding on his spare red bike.

"Special bike" being a UCI legal bike as opposed to his CTT bike. I wasn't referring to any late swapsies.

He was under the impression that his blue CTT bike was also UCI legal as well though, he got caught out by the BC commisaires.

They were changing their mind willy nilly. One would pass it and another fail it. And the same person would pass/fail.

Their jig was pathetic and their use of ambiguity large.

Is 'spare bike' a UCI-approved term, though?

It sounds awfully make-do-and-mend British.

I couldn't agree more.

It must be a fix.

I can measure zipp armrests tonight if you want.
I don't think I have ever seen mention of any standard though...

Finally measured them - the bolt centres are 25mm apart

BC National Champs are run under UCI rules I think.

CTT National Champs have their own rules.

Wait, what?

So does the BC TT Nats replace the CTT Nats of that distance, or do we (potientially) have two different National TT champions at the same distance in the same year, under two governing bodies?

There is only one British TT champ.
That's the winner of the British Time Trial Champs. Held by British Cycling under UCI rules.

CTT is a seperate body who do their own thing and hold their own distance championships, called the 'National Championships' any nationality person can enter. And this is held by CTT under their 'rules'. Pick and chose from a list what applies depending upon discrimination.

CTT hold the 'National Championships' any nationality person can enter.

WTF-tastic.

I was wrong. You have to have 'lived' in the UK for 2 years.

(a) Residential/Nationality eligibility - Such Championships except the GHS 10 (see National Championship Condition 7), shall be open to first claim members of clubs in England and Wales affiliated to Cycling Time Trials (except members of the Headquarters Club) and members of clubs affiliated to the Scottish Cyclists’ Union. All competitors must have proven British nationality or have been continuously resident in Great Britain for the previous two years. Dispensation may be granted by the National Secretary for British Citizens who are members of foreign Clubs/Teams.

Any nationality can enter but you have to have been a resident for 2 years to win the title of National Champion. There was some debate over my title when they realised I was Aussie.

CTT existed before BC.
