No time for the written word this week. Too busy. Leave comments/questions and I’ll try to get to them tonight.
I kinda sorta want an iPad. As a long-time Apple fanboy, I know that I should always avoid version 1.0 of their products. In six months, the price on that sucker will come down $100, and the feature set will expand. So I shall wait. Impatiently. I got the Cervelo out for a ride last [...]
Lots of bike stuff this weekend — taking the Cervelo out for a spin, doing some work on both Salsas, a shift at the bike shop, and my framebuilding apprenticeship session. Does it sound like I am complaining? Because I’m totally not. You know how I am about bikes. Seriously thinking about picking up Battlefield: [...]
So last night, I took the Cervelo out for a short ride, and have determined that I still have some kinks to work out. Nothing show-stopping, of course, but still. Gotta be done before Wednesday’s edition of the Black Dog Time Trial. Considering re-taping the bars and putting some gel inserts on them before then, [...]
So tomorrow, I am probably going to race the Black Dog TT. I use the term “race” loosely, as I won’t even be close to competitive, what with my “extensive” training program I’ve undertaken this spring, and the aerodynamic 20-pound beer gut I’m toting. Tonight, I’m heading out to Burnsville to give the course a [...]
I got the Ambient Web Metrics device partially built and embedded in this site. There’s a write-up here. Every time you visit a page on this site, an angel gets its wings a white LED blinks. Pretty pleased about how it’s going, but at the same time, it was supposed to be a while-Kate’s-gone project. [...]
The author’s P2C, with non-stock Zipp 404 wheels and XLab SonicWing. Based on two experiences surrounding this bike, I decided to purchase one via Cervélo’s shop employee-purchase program. The first experience was getting eyeballs and hands on the Dura-Ace equipped model in our shop. The second was the thorough review written by the crew at [...]
The bike, she is finished. Well, mostly. I need to chop down the seatpost a bit so I can make it fit me properly. But other than that, yeah. It’s done. And I am very pleased by this. I will be following this post in the near future with a full review, as well as [...]
I’ve often wondered why so many bike companies ship their time trial/triathlon bikes with such crappy wheels. I suppose that if I’d really thought about it, the answer would have been obvious — low quality wheels are great for training purposes and help keep unit costs down. In addition, entry-level triathletes will get great performance [...]
