The cost, the flex, the paranoia about possible fragility:
These are things we wouldn't mind sparing ourselves.
We're smart enough to know that the goal is to ride faster for a given power output, and that at a certain point your focus shouldn't be on shedding grams of mass and instead should be on shedding grams of drag.
The Imperiale you're seeing from one of Italy's best-respected frame manufacturers, Wilier, is build with this principle in mind.

Wilier has already spent considerable time pondering aero issues in the development of their Cento Crono family of TT bikes.
They've consulted extensively with aero mastermind John Cobb,
and they've combined their lessons learned with details from the Cento1 to make their first-ever frame specifically designed to maximize speed by minimizing drag.

Ah, those Dutch......

Like other sports that rely on sponsorships, pro cyclists ride for teams pedaling around the globe as billboards on wheels. It’s an accepted tradition of the sport, and most riders tout numerous companies during their careers.

Sometimes the company logos look cool on jerseys, other times they look pathetic. And sometimes I wonder if the cyclists even know what the company they’re advertising represents.

One current prime example is Astana. With the exception of Alexander Vinokourov, the former team rider, how many guys on the squad had ever heard of Kazakhstan or the knew the conglomerate of businessmen from the capital of the country who are paying the bills?

Someone finally had the diplomatic and savvy idea to have the cycling team visit the place, which it recently did. Good idea, guys.

But Astana is far from the most unique, funny or wacky product made by a company sponsoring a cycling team. Among the Pro-Tour squads in 2009, the Italian squad Liquigas is sponsored by the manufacturer of liquified gas products. The team is talented, for sure. But there must be a few fart jokes in the peloton, right?

And Quick Step, sponsor of the longstanding Belgian team, is a company that makes floor laminate. It conjures great possibilities for headline writers: “Quick-Step Cements Team Title” or "Tom Boonen Pastes The Peloton.”

The former squad led by Lance Armstrong was sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service for many years. It didn’t take long for the headline: “Armstrong Delivers” or variations of the same theme to become cliché.

Many years ago, via the memory of my old friend and esteemed cycling journalist John Wilcockson, I was told of a former top amateur team in Holland known as Team Diana. Its sponsor was a Dutch brothel. One couldn’t help wonder: How were the riders compensated?

During the 2009 season, the former domestic squad Health-Net will be known as OUCH Presented by Maxxis. The OUCH acronym stands for Occupational Urgent Care and Health (OUCH) Medical Center. It’s the Temecula, Calif.-based facility where physicians resurfaced the hip of Floyd Landis.

The 2006 winner of the Amgen Tour of California and dethroned 2006 Tour de France titlist signed with the team last November and is scheduled make his return to cycling Feb. 14-22 with Team OUCH at the Amgen Tour of California.

Giro d'Italia: There Will Be Podium Girls in Amsterdam

Angelo Zomegnan (director of the Giro d'Italia) has been busy nipping in the bud any suggestions about "podium guys" at the prologue in Amsterdam. Zomegnan said, "We will choose 'le miss'. The winner of the prologue in the next Giro will be celebrated by two podium girls selected by the race organizer of the Corsa Rosa. I don't know anything about a contest, it's not authorized by us. The podium girls will be Italian and we will bring them from Italy."

Zomegnan was responding to a Dutch politician that argued that the winner of the prologue of the Giro d'Italia in Amsterdam this year should be greeted not by the usual podium girls but by podium guys. "In a city like Amsterdam, known as the gay capital, it would be nice not to have two beautiful misses, but two fine misters,” Marco de Goede of the GroenLinks party argued Wednesday at a city council meeting, according to Reuters. “Do not let a beautiful lady with long legs present the pink jersey award to the winner of the prologue, but a man with a broad chest. Or a drag queen,” he suggested. “A 'Miss' is hopelessly outdated and sexist.” Local TV stations and AT5 RTV Noord-Holland had organized a competition to select the possible podium presenters.

DrugSearch iPhone App Shows WADA Banned Substance List

James Mattis, a member of the California Giant-Specialized cycling team, developed the DrugSearch app after seeing what his wife, Katheryn Curi-Mattis, was going through as a member of the the Webcor Builders cycling team and part of the US Anti-Doping Agency’s out-of-competition testing program.

The free app offers easy access to the WADA’s full banned substance list, including items that are banned year-round and those only banned during competition. It also lists banned methods, such as gene or blood doping, sample manipulation, etc.

The app is ad supported, so you’ll see little links, but it’s a small price to pay for such a cool gadget. Download from iTunes here.

2010 Lazer Tardiz TT Helmet

The Olympic Winter Games
have you feel a bit more patriotic?
We got the right helmet for you!
The Lazer Tardiz TT 2010 helmet
Retails for: $175.=

Lazer Tardiz TT Helmet:
The Lazer Tardiz TT Helmet is the fruition of Lazers efforts to research and invest in new technology and innovation in order to improve helmet safety, fit and performance. The Tardiz is the first time trail helmet with multiple surface treatments for optimal aerodynamics. The front smooth glass surface provides for the best airflow and the least resistance in the area where the helmet makes contact with the air. Front vents allow for air flow into the helmet and around the head to keep the rider cool. The rear vents of the Lazer Tardiz TT Helmet allow for the heated air from the head to escape to the back of the helmet where it is trapped on the matte dimpled surface, providing for better aerodynamics at the rear of the helmet. However the aerodynamic advantage is worthless if the rider can't stay cool. Thankfully, Lazer addresses this issue with the innovative Aquavent. Conceived while racing across the radiating lava bed roads of Kona. Aquavent is a ventilation port on the top surface of the helmet. You can use your bottle to deliver water into the Aquavent to help reduce overheating. Special perforated EVA padding allows for the water to filter down and around the head. The Lazer Tardiz TT Helmet also features the Rollsys fit system. This allows for a 360 degree fit and easy on-the-fly adjustment. Press the heat on your competition not your head with the Lazer Tardiz TT Helmet.

Floyd Landis Denies Hacking Charges

In response to the arrest warrant issued by French Judge Thomas Cassuto for alleged computer hacking, Floyd Landis has denied the allegations and says he has not been contacted by the court.

In an email to the Los Angeles Times, Landis states: “I can’t speak for Arnie, but no attempt has been made to formally contact me. It appears to be another case of fabricated evidence by a French lab who is still upset a United States citizen believed he should have the right to face his accusers and defend himself.”

Then he took the liberty to jab them a bit: “But certainly I hope it’s not lost on anyone that it is a grand admission to having substandard computers at their self-proclaimed ‘nation’s best lab.”

The electronic paper trail that led to an investigation and current arrest warrant claims to lead to Landis’ former coach Arnie Baker’s computer address. However, a computer security consultant quoted in the LA Times says there’s likely more to the story and suggests there may be an internal third party that could have shared their computer access.

Landis, who started racing for Team OUCH last year after his doping ban expired, is currently without a team and therefore unable to race in any of the bigger Tours or Classics. He has said he only plans on racing domestically this year.

Happy Mardi Gras

60 cycles by Jean-Claude Labrecque 1965

Jean-Claude Labrecque’s classic 60 Cycles.
Made in 1965, it follows the Tour du Saint Laurent, a 1500-mile race for amateur cyclists around Québec.

There’s a bit of French at the beginning but it’s mostly soundtracked to psychedelic surf music, which fits bicycle racing even better than it does Tarantino films. On show: beautiful steel racing bikes, colorful woolen jerseys and cycling caps; sweat, sprinting, crit stages, dirt roads and a couple of nasty helmetless crashes.

Magazine News: Rouleur Now Every Two Months!

And, um, that’s it really. It’s good news: Rouleur, while slightly po-faced at times, is for me far and away the best source of good writing on cycling. Focused very much on road riding, and majoring on the history of road racing, it features stunning archive photography and new work from some great snappers. The picture here is by Taz Darling of Yozo Shimano. There’s an interview with him and the beginnings of a history of his company in the current issue, as well as pieces on nutrition, Team Z and a photo story of the Tour of California.

A Few Thoughts on Rocky Raccoon 100 Miler by Brad Delcambre

I’ve never been one for writing up race reports. It’s not that I don’t want to write one, truth is I’m just forgetful and I never get around to it. This is what happened to my Bandera 50K race report. Bandera was no joke. A beautiful course over some of the most blistering terrain you can imagine. If any of you are looking for a challenge I highly recommend this race for splitting your skull open. Unless you have done some traveling to that part of Texas you literally have no clue what you are getting yourself into. Within the first mile I had cursed everyone I could possibly think of and it did absolutely nothing to help the situation. Bandera is a dangerous course if you are not prepared, so if anyone is up for the challenge please do your homework and get wasted. That way when you are passed out you can mentally project what it is like to run over boulders and cacti, as you will get none of that type of training here.

Stolen Trek-Livestrong TT Bike Recovered

Baumann's Trek TTX is back at home at Mellow Johnny's.

Photo credit: Austin360.com

A Trek Equinox TTX time trial bike stolen from Lance Armstrong’s Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop in Austin, Texas has been recovered and returned to the shop after it was purchased at a flea market in Guanajuato, Mexico in January. The bike, which belongs to Trek and was used by Ryan Baumann of the Trek-Livestrong U23 team last season, was stolen back in November after thieves smashed through a glass door in the back of Mellow Johnny’s. The shop acts as the service course for the Trek-Livestrong team.

A cyclist purchased the bike at the flea market and took it to a local Trek representative, who identified the bike and made arrangements to have it returned. The bike, which had no wheels when it was purchased from the flea market, appears to be in fairly good condition with no damage to the frame or components, according to store manager Ted Arnold. No word on the future of the bike; Baumann is racing for the Bahati Foundation Pro Cycling Team this season.

Rocky Raccoon Race Report by Mongoose

MARIPOSA

(A mongoose gets his wings)

“Once I had a dream that I was a butterfly, and I woke up and I was a man. Or, could it be that I am a butterfly still asleep dreaming that I am a man?” (Lao Tzu)

When I was small, OK I’m still small, so when I was a young boy riding with my mother in the car, every time we would see a butterfly she would tell me that it was a sign that God was with us. She explained that the butterfly was a representation of Jesus and his resurrection and gift of everlasting life. I never forgot that.

Well, when training/running the trails, I am constantly surrounded by butterflies. I always smile when I see them on the trail and know that I am never alone, even out in the middle of “no mans land” all by myself. I know that God is with me. My good friend, Dr. Gary Ross, a world renowned Lepidopterist (fancy booklearnin word for butterfly expert), told me that the reason I see them in droves from time to time on the trail is that they emerge at certain temperatures from their cocoons.

All I know, is the sense of comfort and well being I get whenever I see one on the trail. Because deep down I envy them. They effortlessly roam the trails, floating over the hills, roots, and other obstacles. If only I could be like them.

The life journey of a butterfly is very similar to the journey of an ultrarunner from couch to belt buckle (yes, that is what you get for running 100 miles…a belt buckle). You see, the butterfly starts its lifes journey on its belly, crawling, barely making headway as an ugly caterpillar (like I was 6 months ago before beginning my training). With patience and time (training) the caterpillar dreams of the day he will get his wings. Finally, he goes into his cocoon or chrysalis (taper) and prays that he will emerge with beautiful and powerful wings. Finally, that day arrives, the temperature just right and he emerges and takes to the air (race day).

Zipp: "Our best ever teams lineup."

It’s no surprise that the world’s fastest riders want the world’s fastest wheels, and Zipp’s lineup of teams for 2010 surpasses that of any year in our history. Here’s a preview of who’ll be riding Zipp wheels this year.

TEAM SAXO BANK

Since 2004, our partnership with Bjarne Riis’ program has yielded nothing but results, on the road and in the design lab. The team has won world championships, Olympic gold, Spring Classics, the Tour de France, and countless other races. Their testing and feedback have helped make Zipp wheels lighter, stronger, and faster.

Team Saxo Bank’s 2010 roster is as versatile as ever. Fabian Cancellara will look to retain his title as the world’s best time trialist and return to top form in the Spring Classics after last year’s injury-plagued early season. Meanwhile, Frank and Andy Schleck will hunt for wins in the hillier Classics and build their GC form for the Tour de France.

Key wheel: The new Super-9 disc will play an important role as the Schlecks improve their time trial performances and Cancellara continues to dominate in the race against the clock.

CERVELO TESTTEAM

Last year, Cervélo TestTeam’s debut season included a strong campaign in the Spring Classics, multiple stage wins in each of the Grand Tours, and capturing the green jersey at the Tour de France. Meanwhile, Cervélo’s women’s team won the Giro d’Italia and La Grande Boucle. In 2010, the TestTeam will once again be on Zipp wheels as they make the transition from upstart to established powerhouse.

Cervélo TestTeam has a shot to win almost any race. On the men’s team, Thor Hushovd and Heinrich Haussler offer balance for the Classics and Tour de France stage wins. Carlos Sastre’s Tour victory in 2008 places him in the upper echelon of GC contenders, along with stage race standouts Claudia Haeusler and Emma Pooley on the women’s team.

Key wheel: The supremely versatile 303 will provide strength and toughness in the Spring Classics along with light weight and aerodynamics for breakaways in Grand Tour transition stages.

ASTANA CYCLING TEAM

The final addition to Zipp's 2010 sponsorship roster was a big one. The revamped Astana Cycling Team features two-time Tour de France champion Alberto Contador, 2006 Tour winner Oscar Pereiro, and Alexander Vinokourov. Like Team Saxo Bank, Astana will be riding Specialized bikes with Zipp wheels and SRAM components.

Having won the last four Grand Tours he’s contested, Contador will again be the odds-on favorite for the 2010 Tour de France. But he’s not Astana’s only card to play. Vinokourov, Pereiro, and sprinter Allan Davis are all experienced race winners.

Key wheel: Astana will rely on Contador’s climbing ability to deliver a third Tour win, and he’ll rely on the Zipp 202 in the high mountains.

All three programs will have access to Zipp’s full range of high-performance race wheels, all made by hand in Speedway, Indiana: the 202 climbing wheel; the all-around 303 and 404 models; the 808 and 1080 wind tunnel tuned wheels; and the Super-9, Sub-9, and 900 discs. No other company offers as many options to suit all conditions and terrain.

Armstrong Undergoes Full Body Scan To Perfect TT Position

A 3-D rendering of Armstrong on his TT rig.

Lance Armstrong embraced some high-tech body imaging technology to hone his aerodynamic time trial position this week, working with Burbank, California based Cyber F/X, a 3-D scanning and mapping company. He posted the above image to his Twitter page

Cyber F/X specializes in 3-D laser mapping and subsequent foam prototype production of large scale, life size models, including people, although I wouldn’t expect to see any prototype molds of Lance popping up anytime soon.

Armstrong made several 3-D scans of his form on his TT bike which will presumably be analyzed by his team in what seems like a never ending quest to shave valuable seconds off time trials. The scans will give engineers a complete 3-D rendering of Armstrong’s body and bike, which will allow them to send the scan through various aerodynamic models to determine the optimum time trial position.

Look Keo Cleat Fit System

Look Cycles USA has rolled out a new pedal fitting process this year, called the Keo Cleat Fit System. Developed in-house by Look’s own Pedal Product Manager Fred Roudergues, the system aims to help cyclists select the best cleat based on angular float and also to correctly position the cleat on the shoe.

The first step in the process is to setup the cleats properly on the rider’s shoes. This is done by having the cyclist stand up against a wall and measuring the ball of his/her foot in relation to the wall and then translating that onto the shoe. Once the cleats are installed properly, the fitter will setup the cyclists bike on a trainer with specially equipped Keo pedals that will be used to measures and analyzes each complete cycle of the pedal stroke. The cyclist will pedal 3 mins at a regular cadence of 60-90 RPM while the system measures values for both position and amplitude. The position value will help the fitter determine the best position on the shoe for the cleat, while the amplitude value will help the fitter determine which Keo cleat will best suit the cyclist. The process is done twice to get an average value for position, which the fitter will then use to correct the positioning of the cleat.

Once the fitter determines the best angular position for the cleat on the shoe, the fitter will use a special angular measuring tool that will reposition the cleat in the optimum position on the shoe. The cyclists will then cycle another 3 mins to verfiy that the adjustments are correct and that the cleats fall within range of the optimum position. Depending on the amplitude values recorded during the fit, the fitter may swap out the cyclist’s cleat. Look offers three different cleats depending on desired float.

I can definitely recommend anyone already on the Keo system to get fitted.

Though cleat positioning is only part of a complete bike fit,

it is still an important and often overlooked aspect.

Precision Bikes just received the Look Keo Cleat Fit System
and is in the process of implementing this system as part of your Complete Bike Fitting.
As mentioned in posts before, it is always recommended to schedule a fitting
when getting a new bike or when coming out of the "off-season".
Muscles might have shortened, causing lesser mobility when starting up the new season.
To schedule your fitting with Mark Miller, please call the shop.
Price of a Complete Bike Fitting is $200.=
Price of a Look Keo Cleat Fit System fitting is $50.=
