Mmmmm, kinda.

I'm seeing a lot of the sprinters that rushed out and bought 33cm Alpinas move back to wider bars now.

38s should be right on trend ;)

Real sprinters or those that still ride endurance events and sprint for 'fun'?

They are on their website now, eBay is far cheaper.

They are run very nicely at Lee Valley, coach asked us what we all wanted to do, structured it so that the endurance and sprint riders had approx 20 mins on / off. He called each group when they had a few minutes left of their efforts, so we were ready to changeover.

Big thumbs up, well organised and helpful coaches.

As per the description, the threads are stripped, not crossed.

requires new hub, as per the eBay description

Happy for it to go to someone here, I'm at Herne Hill most Sundays so can save postage.

Bump bump!

I'm after a 350mm Alpina wing DF3 seatpost.

Cash waiting.

Still got these?

If you're riding slow enough in doors to be that upright on the banking where your pedals hit, you're more likely to be sliding on your arse from the wheels slipping.

There is a sprinters session at Herne Hill on Sunday mornings, you need to be accrediated though.

Several of us are members of Brixton Cycles.

It depends on the use?

Planet X do some nice deep section carbon tubs for £300.

Also you can make your own with carbon rims, decent spokes and hubs.

165/170 are fine for Newport, I did my accrediation on them. I've been told London is the same.

Interesting, cheers for the responces.

What do tall riders usually use for the track?

I'm 6'5, looking at new cranks, currently using 170mm and noticed they sell 175, which is the same as my road bike.

Easy to hit 65kph, only 165rpm.

I've been informed their bikes will be geared at 84".

That's core strength and technique.

Cheers guys, I'm going to try the one from Wiggle as PX are a nightmare if you want to return anything.

I'm after a torque wrench for my seat post and carbon bars, seen this on PX and looked ok. Does anyone have any experiences with them or other recommendations?

Does anything like this take place anymore? No beginner sessions scheduled at Newport, they said "hopefully" something would be in the next few months.

Email www.mastercoach.co.uk David Le Grys runs clinics at Newport throughout the year.

Yes, as it says in my post above. You have a longer inseam than me, I find the PX frame a little short at 58cm for my upper body, I'm using a 140mm stem now which is much better (Long upper body and shorter legs). The saddle is on its lowest point on my bike, so you'll have no issue with height and leg length.

If you're ordering a new bike, go for the £999 as the wheels are worth the extra £300 IMO and make sure you check the crank length and stem length (these can be changed at no extra cost).

As for other frames, Dolan make the DF3 / DF4 in a 59cm top tube, or there is Serenity if you're willing to pay big money.

Super toughness should help.

As per the title, I'm after Tacx roller rails. (The side bits that the rollers connect to)

I bought this one http://www.hubjub.co.uk/index.php/store/tools/eai-keirin-tote-detail as the Dolan doesn't have enought pace for all your chainrings, chain whip and a spare chain....
