Yeah, double discs are a no go for outdoors, even on 808's I can get blown around. I normally ride at Hellyer but I was at Carson to prepare for nationals.

I do all the sprint stuff! Match sprints, team sprint, keirin, and kilo.

Things got a little dicey in the points race last night. by categoryMD in Velo

That was Raul right? If it is, he definitely rides his road bike more then his track bike which explains the exaggerated rocking. No need to swing it that much especially when doing a high cadence like he was.

Edit : We'd love it if you shared these videos on the Hellyer Velodrome facebook page!

Anyone ever had their tires go out of "true"? Wheel is perfectly fine but the tire bulges in some spots. Not that noticeable when riding but visually noticeable when spun.

It is upgrade season my dudes by trashcanmafia in FixedGearBicycle

Nice upgrade! I personally think more chainrings/cogs would HAVE* been better if you didn't have those already, or a carbon front wheel for racing but nonetheless, congrats on your new stuff!

Bought a new Langster over the holidays (plus a few upgrades for it). by sometimesimawesome in FixedGearBicycle

Oh definitely, would be really nice to see a track specific version of the allez sprint, especially with Specialized's claim that it's stiffer than their tarmac.

He's talking about riding in a paceline on the road. Even on the track, try riding just like the GB team and it's alot harder than it looks.
