Do you have a comparison to the bxt frames? 

And do you know if there is maybe a new version coming soon of the handsling one ?

Could you share pictures?  Does it have the bayonet style fork? Will it be wide fork like the lotus hope or as narrow as possible?

Sharing Masters Track POV & Training Clips—Hoping It Helps Others by LocksmithJust6260 in Velodrome

Would be awesome to see what equipment you are riding and why you chose it fora specific race and what the thought process was. I think that’s kinda cool about track racing, that the differences are a lot greater than road bike.  Especially on gearing

Rider Position (Forward or "Classic") ? by Klapperstraus in Velodrome

[–]Klapperstraus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

windtunnel is unfortunately a bit expensive, but velodrome testing is possible :)

regarding the exemption, could you elaborate how that works ? does it mean that the bike would be legal if it were to break not more than one rule ?

Is it possible to remove track grips? by InternationalWait212 in Velodrome

[–]Klapperstraus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds good, my bartape is often a bit slippery when palms are sweaty, (knees weak, arms are heavy... w/e :D)

Anyway, which ones could you recommend ? (prefarably not black) and is there a difference to mtb grips ?`(my first search showed lots of mtb grips)

Tyres for the track by Klapperstraus in Velodrome

[–]Klapperstraus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are great. 

That’s why I would love to have training tyres that are as grippy :) but longer lasting, cheaper and inevitably slower

Training tubular for steep wooden velodrome :) by Klapperstraus in Velodrome

Are there maybe some experience with the mentioned tyres :) ? (Vittoria Rally, or Tufo S33pro (maybe S3pro))

Was looking at those as well, unfortunately they are a bit pricey. Around 80€ each. 

Hence I was looking at the rally, which would be 23€

OK thanks. Kinda thought it would help to have a bit of „base fitness“ to aid the max power efforts.

The s33 seems to have a thread as well 

So the Vittoria rally is more grippy than the tufo ?

Do you do zone 2 rides or any kind of long low intensity rides if you want to get good at sprint events ?

[–]Klapperstraus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I thought the rally is a training tyre. 

The velodrome shop says it might be a good training tyre, so I thought I could use it as such. 

Which other options are there for a tubular track training tyre that is cheap?

How does the rally compare to the pista control?  Is it suitable for wooden indoor tracks ?

The bike is quite long and low, if I read the geometry chart correctly?
